The exhibition has been held since 2013. This year's exhibition received 228 pieces of arts and crafts works from nearly 100 masters, including carving works and sculptures, embroideries, ceramics, metalwork, lacquerware, paintings, tapestries and cloisonne.

"There are various types of arts and crafts and they have something in common. Through exchanges and mutual learning, the traditional arts and crafts can be better inherited and imaginatively developed," said Jin Ji, a Chinese arts and crafts master who created the shell carving work featuring flying dragons.
