Together with carving, embroidery, paper-cutting and other techniques, the woodblocks are carved into "black peonies" under the skillful hands of the craftsmen and they are listed in the province’s protection list of the first batch of intangible cultural heritage. Yiling district was awarded "the Hometown of Chinese Folk Art (Woodblock)" by the Ministry of Culture in 1993.
