Boxwood carving, a traditional folk handicraft, utilizes boxwood as its primary material, primarily crafted in Yueqing City, Zhejiang Province. Renowned for its slow growth, boxwood is often associated with the adage, "It takes a thousand years to grow a boxwood." Its enduring appeal lies in its resilient yet smooth texture, fine grain resembling ivory, and elegant yellow hue that deepens over time. These qualities, combined with its simple yet beautiful appearance and moderate hardness, make boxwood an exceptional choice for crafting intricate small-scale sculptures.
