Liu Bei - Dark Wood Carving

Liu Bei, also known as Xuande, was a famous politician and military strategist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty of China, and the founding emperor of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period. Born in Zhuo County, Zhuo Commandery (now Zhuozhou, Hebei Province), he made a living selling grass shoes and weaving mats in his early years. Liu Bei had a kind and benevolent personality, which won the hearts of the people. Later, he began to make a name for himself by participating in the suppression of the Yellow Turban Uprising. He formed an alliance with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in Taoyuan, becoming the famous "Peach Garden Three Bonds" in history. The gloomy wooden carving work with the theme of Peach Blossom Oath was created by Chinese arts and crafts master Liang Fengzhu in 2019. The work is now collected at the Liang Fengzhu Arts and Crafts Museum in Nanyue, Hengyang, China.
