What are the special handicrafts in Xiamen?

1, lacquer line carving

Lacquer line carving is one of the artistic treasures in the treasure house of Chinese lacquer art culture, and it is a traditional craft in southern Fujian. Lacquer line carving has been applied to the decoration of Buddha statues since the prosperity of colored sculptures in the Tang Dynasty, commonly known as Buddha ornaments, and has been widely circulated as a special industry for a long time. Lacquer line carving is exquisite and elegant in craft, vivid in image, simple and solemn in style and lifelike in picture. It is a wonderful flower in art gardens and a must for China.

2. Wind lion

The wind lion, also known as the wind lion, the main lion and the male lion, is called "シーサー" in Japan and Ryukyu Islands. It is a lion statue set up on the doors or roofs of buildings in Kinmen and Ryukyu Islands and on the terraces of villages, which is used to ward off evil spirits for people, families and villages.

Its shape is speculated to have evolved from the image of a stone lion at the entrance to the temple. The lion is the king of beasts, and its image is used to ward off evil spirits and attract wealth. Jinmen and Xiamen Island face each other across the sea, and most friends who come to Xiamen will take away this special handicraft of Xiamen-the wind lion.
