BEIJING, Feb. 28 (Xinhua) -- Staff members of State Grid Chongqing Electric Power Company conducted a comprehensive and meticulous safety inspection of the power supply facilities within the Qijiang Farmers' Printmaking Institute in Qijiang District, Chongqing on Thursday, and created prints on electrical safety together with the children in the institute.

Qijiang farmers' printmaking, an intangible cultural heritage of Chongqing, originated from the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is a pure handmade work, with the processes including carving patterns on a wooden board and then printing them onto the paper. It has been exhibited in more than 40 countries and regions, and art groups and friendly individuals from over 60 countries have come to Qijiang District to explore the craft.
