It is currently on China’s National Intangible Cultural Heritage List. Known for its bright colours, delicate craft and the strong stereoscopic effects it produces, plaster moulding has been widely applied to architectures in Guangzhou, Chaozhou and Shantou, and to structures built in the Hakka communities.
Remains of plaster moulding are widely seen in provinces along the Maritime Silk Road. Although the natural materials used are nothing extraordinary, using primarily lime, plaster moulding works are works of art that can last for several hundred years.
