摘要
Fuzhou,a city in Southeast Chinafs Fujian Province,is renowned for its cork carvings.Craftspeople engrave various patterns(including animals,plants,flowers,scenes and/or buildings)on the bark of corks,which are imported from Portugal,Spain or Arab states.If you take the time to examine the exquisite carving on the bark,you will no doubt be impressed by the artist's skill.There is little wonder,then,that many Chinese use"silent poems"and"three-dimensional paintings"as metaphors to describe the carvings.
