Egg carving is a type of folk craft in Xinle City, Hebei Province. Designs are carved onto the eggshells of birds by more than ten different carving methods combining painting and carving techniques. As early as the Tang Dynasty over 1,300 years ago, the poet Bai Juyi depicted scenes in his poetry of people carving and painting on eggs during the spring season. Using a knife as a pen to express emotions, the ancient art of egg carving is telling the moving stories of modern China.
