Nothing to do with Qi Gong?

This post has nothing to do with Qi Gong other than it also came from China. I was shown this carving by a friend and found it captivating. You tell me what you think.

From the Land of Qi Gong!

Knowing I practiced Qi Gong 18 Style and was interested in the Chinese Culture a friend sent me pictures of this fascinating sculpture.

The sculpture is over 40 feet long, took 4 years to carve. It is in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Zheng Chunhuiâ was inspired by a Chinese scroll painting entitled “Along The River During the Qinming Festival. The painting is more than a thousand years old. It details the activities of rich and poor residents during the Qinming Festival. It has hundreds of people, animals, plants as well as buildings etc, each carved in great detail.

 

 Artist must practice Qi Gong

As I look at the photos and marvel at the size and detail it seems to me  the artist must practice Qi Gong. To produce such a detailed massive carving in only four years he must have high energy and great discipline.

Enjoy the pictures.
