~~Part Five~~ Chinese Ethnic Minorities' Arts and Crafts

China is a large country consisting of 56 ethnic groups of people. Various ethnical civilizations and cultures have assimilated each other and bring forward the splendid Chinese culture.
Costumes of these ethnic people, as symbols of their cultures, vary greatly in material, design, color, style and associated ornaments with their different ways of life, modes of production, religious faiths, aesthetic standards and geographic environments.
Beautiful textiles with woven, printed or embroidered designs and distinctive artifacts such as metal ware, lacquer ware, pottery, mask and carved and knitted works are the reflection of people's wisdom in art creation, skills of craftmanship and deep love for life.

~~Part Six~~ Chinese Seals

Seals were first used in China to validate the documents of high ranking officials. These official seals were called Xi. As early as the period between the Shang and Zhou dynasties (-1600-771 B.C.) and especially during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770-256 B.C.), Xi inscribed with "script writing" were widely used Due to changes in the social structure, a large number of private seals called Yin also emerged at this time. Xi and Yin seals became the artistic side of the fusion of "script writing" with engraving techniques which had flourished in China for over 2000 years.
