The rise of Hangzhou woodcarving began in the 1950s. In 1953, Mr. Wang Fengzuo, a famous boxwood carving artist, was transferred to the East China Branch of the Central Academy of Fine Arts (now the China Academy of Art) to engage in the teaching and creation of boxwood carving. Since then, boxwood carving has taken root in Hangzhou and flourished. In 1963, the East China Branch of the Central Academy of Fine Arts transferred the folk art majors such as boxwood carving to the newly established Zhejiang Arts and Crafts Institute. In March 1960, Hangzhou founded the Hangzhou Arts and Crafts School, which included a wood carving major. In 1964, the Hangzhou Arts and Crafts Institute established a wood carving creation group. In 1971, Zheng Shengning, who had learned boxwood carving skills in his early years, was transferred to the Hangzhou Woodcarving Factory to continue his studies under the tutelage of Mr. Wang Fengzuo. In 1992, Zheng Shengning was transferred to the Zhejiang Arts and Crafts Institute to work on wood carving creation. He was hired as a senior arts and crafts artist and was named a Zhejiang Arts and Crafts Master in 1998. In August 2002, Zheng Shengning founded the "Hangzhou Zheng Shengning Sculpture Art Institute" to undertake the important task of inheriting and innovating Hangzhou wood carving. To date, Hangzhou woodcarving has been passed down for five generations from the first generation master, Mr. Zhu Zichang (1876-1934), forming a woodcarving industry with Hangzhou's regional cultural characteristics, and is a key protected skill of traditional arts and crafts in Zhejiang Province and Hangzhou City. In 2014, Hangzhou boxwood carving (Hangzhou woodcarving carving skills) was identified by the Hangzhou Municipal People's Government as the fifth batch of intangible cultural heritage.
