Embossed pinyin

The pinyin of the relief is fú diāo o o.

Relief is a sculpture. The sculptor carves the image he wants to create on a flat plate, separating it from the plane of the original material. Relief is a combination of sculpture and painting. It uses compression to deal with objects, uses perspective and other factors to express three-dimensional space, and only looks at one side or two sides.

Relief is usually attached to another plane, so it is often used in buildings and often appears on utensils. Because of its compression characteristics and small occupation space, it is suitable for decoration in various environments. In recent years, it plays an increasingly important role in urban beautification.

Relief is as colorful as circular sculpture in content, form and material. Relief supplies include stones, wood, ivory and metal. Relief is a kind of semi-vertical sculpture, which protrudes from the stone surface (as opposed to concave sculpture).

According to the different depth of stone removal in image modeling, it can be divided into shallow relief and high relief. The bas-relief is a single-stage statue with relatively simple content; High relief is a multi-level sculpture with complex content. The carving technique and expression style of relief are basically the same as those of round carving.

Many large-scale memorial buildings, high-grade mansions and residential houses in ancient and modern times have such decorations. Their main works are walls, flower windows, dragon columns (early) and column foundations.
