HUIZHOU, renamed Huangshan in 1987, has for centuries been a main cultural and economic hub. Anhui merchants and businesses were prominent in China's economy from the 14th to 19th century, and fundamental to formation of Huizhounology, which along with Dunhuangnology and Tibetology is one of China,s three main regional cultures. Traditional Huizhou woodcarving is manifest in embellishments to house beams, screens, window lattices and balustrades, as well as tables, chairs, cabi- nets and beds. An influential school in the history of Chinese folk woodcarving it is, along with Huizhou stone and brick earving, known as one of Huizhou's "three carvings."
