As the Chinese AAA game Black Myth: Wukong gains widespread popularity, its unique artistic style and profound cultural depth have invigorated the cultural and creative market. A representative inheritor of the Chinese intangible cultural heritage of boxwood carving, Ye Xiaopeng's original boxwood carving of Sun Wukong, or Wukong, also known as the Monkey King become highly sought after.

Originating in East China's Zhejiang Province

The craft of boxwood carving uses boxwood, known for its tough, smooth texture, fine grain, and yellow hue reminiscent of ivory. Over time, the wood darkens, acquiring a unique and rustic charm.

"Boxwood grows slowly, and the material is limited. The manual carving process is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Initially, I just wanted to showcase a few works featuring China's superhero, Sun Wukong. But after the game became a hit, these works were snapped up in an instant," Ye told the Global Times.

"Boxwood carving can draw inspiration from modern media like Black Myth: Wukong. Artisans should seize the opportunity to create works that retain their cultural essence while resonating with contemporary tastes," Ye said. "When creating the Monkey King, I focused on expressing his inner spirit and contemporary significance through details. For example, the Monkey King wears a purple-gold crown and armor, exuding a mighty presence that symbolizes a spirit of perseverance and bravery."
