Jian-nian (cut-and-paste figurines) art has been passed down for one hundred years ago. Temples are mainly people's religious center and eight of major Yongjing temples and three historic relics are portrayed according to their eave Jian-nian decoration art.

Project Description: Jian-nian (cut-and-paste figurines) Decoration is fascinating on the eave of temples. Through information collecting, interviewing, and visiting temples, we will guide you to know about Jian-nian artworks at the three main historic sites in Yongjing-Chengmei Hall, Yu San Guan, and House of Royalty, and eight of Yongjing major temples. By experiencing how Jian-nian artworks was made, the production process is a difficult and time-taken job.The craftmen endure the wind and rain to create their art on the eave or the roof. We do hope people know to protect our precious artworks.
