The Shaanxi food-tasting in Manhattan also featured folk arts native to the province such as fabric collage, hemp embroidery and paper-cutting. This artist is drawing rabbits, tigers and dragons, the Chinese zodiac symbols for members of a family that requested his work. The artist said folk art is an important part of Shaanxi's culture and history, which he hopes will attract interest from around the world.  [YU WEI / CHINA DAILY]
