CRI Huayu Global Yantai 17d8d Impact 5
Wang Dazhen, a retired resident of Yantai, China, has dedicated his hobby to creating detailed sculptures using the shells of various mollusks. An elderly artist named Wang Dazhen began creating shell art, using a conch shell for a turtle's body, a large scallop shell for its head, four small scallop shells for its feet, and another small scallop shell for its tail. His works have gained popularity among local children and parents, leading to pre-orders. A local craft exhibition also features diverse items including gourds, zodiac ornaments, and lanterns. An Jia, deputy director of the Yantai Intangible Cultural Heritage List Committee, praised the artisan's work. The works have attracted local children and parents who are placing orders for the pieces. The artisan's stall at a small craft exhibition has seen interest from citizens.
