Born into four generations of carpenters, Hao Liyan seemed destined for a career in building. But his true calling was running a business crafting toys 71 use traditional Chinese mortise-and-tenon (榫卯) joints.
Having seen all the hard work and 72 (injure) his ancestors endured, Hao decided against following in their footsteps. But after growing up, he understood the value of craftsmanship and felt 73 duty to preserve these skills.
This traditional technique, 74 (name) sunmao in Chinese, joins concave and conver (凹面和凸面的) wood pieces together by fitting them like puzzle pieces. Without using nails or glue, the system creates strong, interlocking structures. Peaking during the Ming and Qing dynasties, sunmao was 75 (essence) to constructing everything from grand palaces 76 elaborate furniture and musical instruments. With modernization over the centuries, 77 , the technique declined as cheaper, less labor-intensive industry.
But in recent years, this ancient technique 78 (find) new life amid a cultural revival that celebrates traditional Chinese elements in contemporary design.
As he was building sunmao toys for his first child, Hao saw an opportunity and founded Qiaolin, which 79 (gradual) gains a foothold in the toy market dominated by foreign brands like Lego.
While mortise-and-tenon toys 80 (consider) China’s answer to Lego, Hao insists that their linkage systems are quite different. The variation in mortise-and-tenon joint connections is more diverse.

The Dong people are known for their skills with wood. They can build without 81 (use) nails. Now, an architectural practice Condition Lab has created a wooden children’s library called Pingtan Book House in China’s Hunan Province, 82 preserves the Dong architectural DNA and is a “new village library model in China.”
“This is an amazing 83 (achieve) in modern society. The architects used 84 (tradition) Dong woodworking techniques. The Book House was mostly built using wood. The walls of the house have been changed into a matrix of bookshelves and windows,” Condition Lab said.
The architects suggest there are two 85 (lesson) to be learned from this project. The first is that the children learn that their culture still matters and these skills with wood remain useful.
“The second lesson relates to the subject itself, at a time when architecture, 86 (particular) in large cities like Hong Kong, appears to have lost its soul to ever-demanding developers,” Condition Lab said.
“That reality makes one aware 87 the social importance of architecture. Creating positive social change doesn’t need 88 great deal of money and design is not limited to high-end projects. To put it simply, architecture must have a purpose.”
Condition Lab noted that “ 89 (we) design creates a form of ‘living heritage’ to reconnect and inspire children and offers them a unique chance 90 (appreciate) their wonderful culture.”
