Lacquer carving, which is a traditional Chinese craft, is representative of crafts in Beijing. Lacquer - with cloisonne, jade carving, ivory carving, inlaid-gold lacquer, filigree inlaying, imperial carpets and Beijing embroideries -is one of the top eight crafts in Beijing. In 2006, lacquer carving was recognized as part of China's national intangible cultural heritage. Yin Xiuyun is one of the craft's inheritors. Yin worries the craft - adored by the imperial family in ancient China - will one day go the way of the dodo.
