When the beloved Chinese animation character Ne Zha encounters the Liaoning intangible cultural heritage of pyrography, a dazzling “spark” of creativity is ignited.

The art of pyrography, which uses a soldering iron to paint on Xuan paper, captures the majestic figure of Ne Zha with the thousand-year-old craft. The soldering iron “dances” gracefully across the Xuan paper, with meticulous temperature control and lines as fluid as gentle breezes.

The fiery hair, sword-like eyebrows, and an unyielding stare, along with the Firetip Spear and Wind Fire Wheels, are etched with a fiery passion. It appears as if Ne Zha were about to leap out of the canvas and take you to conquer the Dragon King.

The pyrography rendition of Ne Zha fuses tradition with modernity through Liaoning’s intangible cultural heritage to reveal the allure of ancient Chinese mythological heroes. Each painting is a world of its own, and a single glance transcends a millennium of cultural trends. Come and experience the dual shock of intangible cultural heritage and Chinese animation!
