According to historical records, residents of the county have been creating paintings with grain since the Tang Dynasty(618-907). They use various kinds of grain and the seeds of different plants as materials in a dozen procedures, including sticking and carving.
The works are rich with landscapes, figures, flowers and birds in a unique rural style.
More than 300 local residents have increased their annual incomes by doing related jobs, the authorities said.
