Ancient wood carvings in Hepu county, South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, bring history to life through exquisite craftsmanship.
The wood is created by thousands or even tens of thousands of years of carbonization by trees, which are buried in the mud with the intense movement of the earth's crust.
Here are some pictures to give you a glimpse of these works.
