The process of depicting Tang Hua

The process of drawing Tang Hua is described as follows:

Tang Hua is a traditional folk handicraft, with sugar as the material for modeling. The only tools used are a spoon and a shovel. Sugar is usually brown sugar with a little sugar, which is cooked on the stove with warm fire. When it is ready to tie the thread, it can be used for casting. Painting Tang Hua is a traditional folk craft with artistic sense and skill. The following is the basic process of drawing Tang Hua:

Preparatory work:

First, artists who paint Tang Hua will prepare necessary tools and materials, including syrup, copper plates, sugar brushes, gas stoves and so on. Syrup is made of sugar and boiled water in a certain proportion, and the temperature and time of boiling need to be properly controlled to make the syrup reach the appropriate consistency and color.

Design mode:

Before painting, the artist will design the pattern to be painted. This pattern can be animals, figures, flowers and other themes, depending on the artist's skills and creativity.

Sketch:

The designed pattern is lightly drawn on the copper plate with a pencil, which can provide a general outline for the subsequent Tang Hua production.

Making Tang Hua:

Pour the syrup into the sugar brush and start drawing according to the sketch. The tip of the sugar brush can accurately control the flow of syrup, so that the pattern gradually appears. In the process of painting, artists need to use the strength and temperature of their wrists flexibly to keep the consistency and fluidity of syrup.

Cooling and setting:

When the Tang Hua is finished, it is placed in the air to cool naturally. Tang Hua will harden when it cools, so that it can keep its shape and color.

Finish the work:

Finally, after careful pruning and decoration, a beautiful Tang Hua is completed.

Tang Hua is a traditional art of the Chinese nation. I have seen it in some old movies. I didn't expect to see it in real life today. This really excites me. The process of painting Tang Hua requires artists to have superb skills and rich experience, as well as love and respect for traditional culture. By learning and inheriting this craft, more people can understand and appreciate this unique art form.
