Chu-style lacquer coating craft took shape during the Spring and Autumn Period (770 B.C.-476 B.C.) and the Warring States Period (475 B.C.-221 B.C.). Over the past thousands of years, this oriental craft has been mainly used on wood carving artworks and famous for its complicated making, distinguished styles, varied patterns and saturated colors. In 2011, the craft was listed as one of the national-level intangible cultural heritage. (Xinhua/Chen Sihan)
