根雕，中国传统雕刻艺术之一，是以树根(包括根身、树瘤等)的自生形态为艺术创作对象，经过雕琢，变身成为制作精美、造型各异的根雕工艺品。

Root carving, one of the traditional Chinese carving arts, is an art creation that takes the natural form of tree roots such as root trunk, tree nodules as the object. After carving, these tree roots are made into exquisite and uniquely shaped carving handicrafts.

根雕创作，首先要根据树根的自然形态进行构思，在雕刻阶段要不断斟酌调整，

The creative process first requires conceptualization based on the natural shape of the tree roots. During the carving stage, the sculptors need to constantly make considerations and adjustments.

等雕出粗坯轮廓后，再细加工、抛光打磨、上色涂漆等多道流程，才能呈现出完整的作品。

After the general outline is carved, multiple processes like fine processing, polishing, and painting are carried out to present a complete work.

根雕作品三分人工，七分自然。将树根原有的味道和质感表现出来，才是根雕艺术的精髓所在。

The root carving lies in the fact that manual handling is secondary and it is the natural form that counts.The essence of this art lies in expressing the original flavour and texture of tree roots.
