Then Zheng Chunhui, a famous wood carver, spent over four years
creating this masterpiece.
The carving is based on the famous Chinese painting “Along the
River During the Qingming Festival.” The original artwork was created over
1,000 years ago.
The piece won the Guinness World Record for the longest wooden
carving and measures over 40ft (specifically, it is 12.286 meters long, is
3.075 meters tall at it highest point, and is also 2.401 meters
wide).
The intricate carvings of daily life in ancient China are so
detailed and perfect, they could drop your jaw.
It’s no surprise that this incredible work of art is drawing so
much attention. It’s amazing, but not just because it’s so big, but also
because it’s so incredibly detailed.
That was 8,760 hours well spent. Share this awesome work with
others.
