June 2, 20179 yr Author comment_111589 This is a wooden carved sculpture. Made with a single tree trunk, it has been recognized as the world's longest wood carving by the Guinness Book of World Records. The sculpture contains over 550 individually carved people. Not to mention all the buildings and foliage. It's is a replica of the famous Chinese painting "Along The River During The Quinming Festival" created by artist Zhang Zeduan during the Song Dynasty.. This mind-blowing artwork was created by Zheng Chunhui and took four years to complete. Footnote: Sure makes me feel insignificant. Herb Edited June 2, 20179 yr by Dadio Report
