The law also calls the technical staff of the traditional art field "treasure of the people's lives" and encourages them to retain their skills.

The art of pyrography has existed for centuries. This is an ancient technique that burns wood using a heated metal pen and leaves a decorative pattern. Pyrography is also known as firewood frying, and it is a wonderful technique for skilled sketchers to try their hands with various media. The history of this craft can be traced back to the African tribes known as Egyptians and Chinese needle embroidery in China. Throughout history, artists were able to express themselves by engraving strokes creatively on wood, leather and even gourd.
