Brief introduction of China folk woodcarving skills
Simple wood carvings carve some patterns on the user's parts to embellish the taste, while complex wood carvings even carve the whole piece of wood. The most attractive wood carvings in China are Yueqing boxwood carving, Dongyang Relief, Fujian Longan Wood Carving and Chaozhou Gold Lacquer Wood Carving. These kinds of woodcarvings are called "four great woodcarvings" by modern people, including all the skills, techniques, composition, material selection, blank making and materials, which meet people's different needs in appreciation, practicality, decoration and architecture to varying degrees and become an important part of people's lives.
China's woodcarving has been produced in primitive society. If we go back, Neanderthals used stone knives and bone knives to carve patterns on wood, which was the beginning of wood carving art in later generations. The invention of lacquerware greatly promoted the art of woodcarving. With the rise of Buddhism in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, a large number of temples, terraces and wood carving bodhisattvas appeared in the south of the Yangtze River, which made the wood carving art in China develop to a new peak. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, woodcarving works of art were complicated, and woodcarvings with different names appeared. Disciples of some famous artists and craftsmen have inherited the art of woodcarving and started to set up their own schools.
This book is a popular teaching material that combines the tracing of woodcarving art with various woodcarving techniques. The editor introduced the history of folk woodcarving in China, as well as the different development process, functions and inheritance status of the "four great woodcarvings" to friends who love folk woodcarving, especially traditional woodcarving. At the same time, the editor focused on the particularity of woodcarving technology and the seriousness of picking materials, as well as the necessary tools, operation essentials, production methods and production processes of woodcarving. Boxwood carving is misunderstood by many people as Dongyang wood carving. In fact, it is essentially different from Dongyang woodcarving. At present, boxwood carvings are mainly produced in Yueqing, Zhejiang. Although Zhu Zichang has a short history since its founding, it has developed rapidly.
