Liu Jinhai, a professional craftsman in Pingyao who makes polished lacquer ware, paints one of his items. "With complex and exquisite workmanship, Pingyao polished lacquer ware involves preparing the wood, adding the base, lacquering, painting and completing the inlay. It takes a person two years to finish a piece of lacquer ware measuring just 10 square meters," said Liu, who is now a provincial-level craftsman who teaches others this intangible cultural heritage.
