The museum is also celebrating the inheritance and renewal of Yangzhou jade carving.
Twenty-four exhibits on its second floor showcase how Yangzhou jade ware continues to innovate and develop while preserving the traditional crafts of its predecessors. The pieces focus on composition, structure, layering, modeling, and workmanship, and excel in creating large-scale and mountain-shaped carvings, as well as bottle and stove utensils.
With the rise of live-streaming e-commerce, many practitioners have stepped out from their workshops into the spotlight. The museum has also set up a live-streaming room to embrace the vast opportunities of e-commerce.
