木雕是雕塑的一種，在我們國家常常被稱為“民間工藝”。木雕可以分為立體圓雕、根雕、浮雕三大類。木雕是從木工中分離出來的一個工種，在我們國家的工種分類中為“精細木工”。

Wood carving is a kind of sculpture, often called a "folk craft" in our country. Wood carving can be divided into three categories: three-dimensional round carving, root carving and relief carving. Wood carving is a kind of work separated from woodworking, and it is called "fine woodworking" in our national classification of work.

唐代是中國工藝技術大放光彩的時期，木雕工藝也日趨完美。許多保存至今的木雕佛像，是中國古代藝術品中的杰作，具有造型凝練、刀法熟練流暢、線條清晰明快的工藝特點。

The Tang Dynasty was a time when Chinese craft technology was in full bloom, and wood carving technology was becoming more and more perfect. Many wooden Buddha statues preserved today are masterpieces of ancient Chinese art, with the characteristics of concise shape, skilled and smooth knife, and clear and crisp lines.

明清時代的木雕品題材，多見為生活風俗、神話故事，諸如吉慶有余、五谷豐登、龍鳳呈祥、平安如意、松鶴延年等木雕作品，深受當時社會歡迎。

The themes of wood carvings in the Ming and Qing dynasties are mostly life customs and fairy tales, such as auspicious celebrations, good harvests, auspicious dragons and phoenixes, peace and happiness, pine cranes and other wood carvings, which were welcomed by the society at that time.
