Wood carving has a long history, dating back to the Neolithic Age. The woodcarving fish found at Hemudu Site in Yuyao, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, dating from 7000 to 5000 years ago, is the earliest woodcarving in China history. Because of the fragility of wood, it is difficult to preserve wood carvings for a long time in general. We can only do some preliminary research on wood carvings before the Tang Dynasty in some relevant materials.
