Dong ethnic farm paintings

Wu Feifei (1st, L), a third-year primary school student, practices the craft of farm-life painting at a training school, in Dudong township, Guangxi Sanjiang Dong autonomous county, March 17, 2013. Since 1988, residents here have been using indigo and traditional ink for color pigments, and tree branches for paint brushes in order to depict their colorful folk ways and customs. For the last over 20 years, these unique paintings have developed into mature works of art, and now attract many visitors and collectors from around the world. In 2012, the farmer paintings from the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region were listed as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. [Photo/Xinhua]
