Root carving is to create artistic works of characters, animals, utensils and other artistic images through conception, artistic processing and process, taking the autogenetic form and distorted form of tree roots (including tree bodies, nodules, bamboo roots, etc.) as the object of artistic creation. Root carving art is a kind of plastic art that finds natural beauty and shows creative processing. The so-called "three parts of labor, seven parts of nature" means that in the creation of root carving, most of the natural forms of root materials should be used to express artistic images, and a few of them should be artificially processed and modified. Therefore, root carving is also called "root art" or "root art". The basic technique of root carving is to use exaggeration, fantasy and abstraction to reflect real life. To be specific, it is to make a comprehensive and careful observation of the selected root material and make a clever idea. By virtue of its shape, texture, knots, concavity and convexity, curvature, holes, and so on, it is a bold idea to combine the virtual with the real. The line seeks the usable value of the material itself with a variety of themes and contents, and is good at finding the extraordinary from the ordinary, and gradually determines the overall image of the creation. It is very important to make clear the creative idea and imagine boldly for the root generation creation.
Wood carving is a kind of sculpture, which is often called "folk craft" in our country. Wood carving can be divided into three categories: three-dimensional round carving, root carving and relief carving. Wood carving is a kind of work separated from carpentry, which is classified as "fine carpentry" in our country. Folk art varieties classified by carving materials. Generally, the tree species with fine and tough texture and not easy to deform are selected, such as nanmu, red sandalwood, camphor wood, cypress, ginkgo, agarwood, mahogany, longan, etc. The tree root carving art in natural form is called "tree root carving". Wood carving has round carving, relief carving, engraving or several techniques. Some are also painted to protect wood and beautify it. Generally speaking, tools for wood carving creation, such as saws, wood files, chisels, carving knives, flat shovels, axes, wood drills, wood hammers, planes, etc., can be used for root carving creation. In addition, you also need basic tools such as scissors (scissors for pruning), knives, brushes, sandpaper (cloth), coarse and fine cloth, cotton yarn, rope, etc. During special processing, such as fire roasting, steaming, and insect prevention, some tools are also needed, which can be used in general families instead of other tools.
Most of the jades mentioned in daily life refer to nephrite, and there are many kinds of nephrite products. Generally, they refer to white sheepskin jade, white jade, topaz, purple jade, black jade, jasper, sapphire, ruby and northeast Xiuyu produced in Xinjiang.

In addition, Nanyang jade, Lantian jade, Hotan jade, agate, crystal, coral, turquoise, lapis lazuli, etc., all belong to the category of nephrite. Later, due to the opening of the Silk Road, the jade produced in Hotan, Xinjiang, was unanimously recognized and began to play a leading role in the processing of royal, official and folk jade. Nephrite gradually evolved into a synonym for hotan jade.
