160,000 bricks to recreate the Beijing Central Axis?!

At the recent 2026 Beijing Culture Forum, discussing cultural heritage protection and mutual learning among civilizations, Jiang Buting, a brick content creator, once again showcased his building-block work of the the Beijing Central Axis. The work, featuring 160,000 bricks, aims to translate the essence of old Beijing and Chinese culture into a universally understood language.

In an interview with us, Jiang shared the inspiration and behind-the-scenes stories of his creation. He explained that building blocks are a common ground for all ages globally. "The axis is the 'backbone' of Beijing." Jiang said he was inspired by the inscription of Beijing's Central Axis on the UNESCO World Heritage List. He wanted to use his craft to introduce the daily lives of local people to the world.
