On December 3, craftsmen were soldering iron painting of Zhangjiajie scenery at the Longma Soldering Iron Painting Maker Studio in Wulingyuan District, Zhangjiajie City. Soldering iron painting, also called “fire needle embroidery”, is an extremely precious and rare type of painting in ancient China. The traditional art and craftsmanship of Zhangjiajie soldering iron painting is a municipal intangible cultural heritage item. In recent years, while inheriting and developing national culture and art, the district government has skillfully integrated the beautiful and peculiar natural scenery of Zhangjiajie into the art of pyrography, adding local characteristics to the artwork.
