Word origin

工艺品 (gōngyìpǐn, "handicraft") is formed from 工 (gōng, "work") + 艺 (yì, "skill") + 品 (pǐn, "item"), linking skilled making with the object it produces.

Usage tips

  • A shop label does not always prove that an item is entirely handmade, because the term can cover a broad range of decorative craft products; details about its production may still matter.
