In recent years, with the return of handmade moon cakes, the moon cake molds that have faded out of the people's vision have also been enlightened. Today we will enter Qianling Village, Dingzhen Town to learn about the traditional craftsmanship of moon cake molds.

Originally Timing, a craftsman made by a moon cake mold, studied at the age of 18 with his father, has been accompanied by wood and engraving for nearly 50 years.

The year of the pear wood is the smallest in the wood, and he can carve out the patterns, and other wood cannot replace it. The selected materials and buying pear trees are processed into 4.5-5cm thick plates, and it can be taken back for three years in the earth kiln cave before it can be taken out.

Because of many characters, it is very difficult to follow the eye carving. Every time the knife is extremely accurate, the first knife is engraved straight, and the second knife is cut off. Before each carving, the original Timing was only a few pens, and it was about to draw, but when the knife was under the knife, it was "the breasts have a bamboo" and "the knife was like a god".
