木工

木工 (mù gōng) refers to a person who works with wood, typically making furniture, structures, or decorative items. It specifically denotes a craftsman or artisan specializing in woodworking, distinguishing it from general carpenters or builders.

The character 木 (mù) means 'wood,' and 工 (gōng) means 'work' or 'craft.' Together, they form a term that literally translates to 'wood work,' emphasizing the skill and artistry involved in working with wood.

Woodworking is deeply rooted in Chinese culture, with traditional techniques passed down through generations. 木工 is often associated with craftsmanship, patience, and precision. In modern contexts, it may also refer to someone who builds or repairs wooden objects professionally.
