Bamboo carving technology

One of the techniques of Yangsha bamboo carving.

The land is sandy, including fine sand, coarse sand, walnut land, citron land (a kind of orange peel land) and so on.

One of the bamboo carving techniques of Bowen.

There are three meanings; Refers to the shallow relief carved by Wu Luzhen in Qing Dynasty, which is shallower than the high relief carved in Ming Dynasty, hence the name "Bo Di Yang Wen". A relief lower than Wu Luzhen's bas-relief. The so-called "thin land relief" by neighbors means scraping off all the bamboo land except the pattern or the bamboo land around the adjacent pattern, so that the pattern is slightly raised, and then carving.

One of deep bamboo carving techniques. Deep, deeper than the average person. The light element on the surface of the bamboo forest is called the ground, and all the carved images are carved into the ground, with five or six layers, reaching its deepest part, hence the name "deep ground". This law began in the early Qing Dynasty.

One of the techniques of bamboo carving.

There are four ground modes; One is bare land, which is flat land. The second is the open space, that is, the hollowed-out place through carving. The third is geometric patterns, such as thunder patterns, ripples, scales and brocade patterns. The fourth kind is rough land, that is, sandy land, which is named after its shape. The pattern covers the ground, which bears the pattern, and the ground is supplemented by the pattern, which is formed by the ground. General introduction

Bamboo carving has a variety of forms, including round carving, relief and other different forms, and also extends the techniques of keeping green, pasting yellow and inlaying. Bamboo carving works have their own advantages in technology according to the variety and origin. There are many reliefs on the building, many round carvings on the ornaments, and the carvings on the cake board are all intaglio; Ningbo workers are famous for embedding bones, while Chaozhou workers are good at carving.

Comprehensive sculpture

Refers to the complete three-dimensional sculpture, that is, the scene image is completely carved from the front, back, left and right, with three-dimensional space, not attached to any background, and can be enjoyed from any angle around. This kind of vessel carved by circular carving is mostly made of bamboo roots, designed according to the natural form of bamboo, and slightly carved to make it a clever, simple or exquisite work of art for people to watch. This pioneering work of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude seems simple, but it is extremely difficult to do. Not only rich imagination and outstanding originality, but also superb carving skills, both of which must be closely coordinated. The most representative is the Feng family. The Feng family is a bamboo carving family, which has been handed down from generation to generation for more than five or six generations. Among them, the most famous three brothers Feng Xijue, Feng Xilu and Feng Xizhang are called Ding. They inherited Zhu's circular carving skills on bamboo carving, used bamboo roots as raw materials, imitated realistic sketches, and most of the artifacts they made won by novelty. Feng Xilu and Feng Xizhang were recommended by local officials because of their excellent skills and reputation. In the 42nd year of Kangxi (1703), he was called into the palace and worked in hall of mental cultivation.

alleviate

Refers to the carving of artistic images on a plane basis, with objects similar to paintings and compressed front and back. So relief is an art form between painting and sculpture. The production process of relief also illustrates this point, that is, before carving, first stick the draft on the rigid board, and then carve according to the draft. According to the different three-dimensional degree of relief, it can be divided into "high relief", "shallow relief", "fine carving" and "line carving" The high relief is similar to the round sculpture, and the image relief of the sculpture is larger than the general relief, and some of them are round sculptures, which has a strong three-dimensional sense. Shallow relief is close to painting, and its carved imagination fluctuates more smoothly than ordinary relief. The thin sculpture, the shallowest relief, only shows a layer of gentle ups and downs, which means stopping.

Qing Liu

The so-called "staying green", also called flat carving, is to carve a layer of green skin pattern on the surface of bamboo, shovel the green skin outside the pattern, and expose the muscles of bamboo. When the bamboo is dry, the knife can be played. At this point, the skin has turned from green to white. The so-called "traces like powder painting" coincides with the pattern of staying green. It doesn't take a year or two to carve, and the skin is pale yellow, but it hasn't changed much since then. Bamboo muscle changes from light yellow to dark yellow, and from dark yellow to reddish purple, so the color difference between skin and muscle will become more and more obvious. This carving method is not only exquisite, but also the appearance of bamboo ware is bright and smooth, and it is often played with the palm of your hand. The older you get, the darker, smoother and smoother the bamboo muscle is, and the color is similar to amber, and the clearer the pattern is. This technology began in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, although it was the primary stage of bamboo carving in Liu Qing and the carved patterns were relatively simple, the appearance of this technique showed the improvement and progress of bamboo carving art

intaglio

Refers to the carving technique that the object to be carved is lower than the horizontal plane of the carving surface. Line engraving, that is, engraving lines in a intaglio way on a plane engraving surface, is similar to line drawing in painting.

Miniature carving

Micro-carving is also a kind of bamboo carving. Because of the structure of bamboo fiber, it is difficult to make micro-carving on bamboo, so modern sculptors can rarely make micro-carving on bamboo, which is also a kind of difficult micro-carving. Many micro-engraved works often have micro-engraved poems or articles on the screen. At this time, people are more and more aware of the importance of the calligraphy effect of micro-lettering. Although some works are exquisitely carved, they are just a bunch of ants. Under a magnifying glass, they are deformed, and the fonts are dim, skewed or distorted, which is really not enough. Especially in micro-carving works, micro-carving skills have become the criteria for judging the success or failure of micro-carving works. The reason why good works are respected by people is not only the micro-carving technique, but also the micro-carving layout and the calligraphy skills of iron strokes and silver hooks. Carving works on bamboo is even more difficult.

Corrugation joiner

Infiltration is infiltration. Through carving is also called through carving. Pass means pass. The bottom plate is hollowed out on the basis of relief, which makes the image ethereal and prominent, and is divided into single-sided hollowed-out carving and double-sided hollowed-out carving. On the basis of circular carving, there are also hollowed-out carvings to carve internal scenery. There are also plane multi-layer carving, up to five or six layers.

Stick a piece of yellow paper on the imperial edict for revision.

Also known as "bamboo yellow", "yellowing", "anti-yellowing" and "asparagus". The process is to turn the yellow side of the inner wall of the bamboo tube over, boil it and stick it on the wooden fetal bone to make the product. Since the middle of Qing Dynasty, Jiading, Jiangsu, Huangyan, Zhejiang, Shaoyang, Hunan, Jiang 'an, Sichuan and Shanghang, Fujian have been famous for making yellow stickers. According to known literature, Shanghang was earlier. The yellow sticker uses wood as the tire. Wooden tires can be shaped at will, so it can break through the limitation that bamboo is cylindrical and can be made into objects of various shapes, which increases its practical value, so yellow stickers are worth promoting. But the yellow paste is very thin and can only be engraved shallowly. Generally, the modeling and carving of folk yellow masons are relatively simple. However, the treasures hidden in the Qing palace are exquisite and gorgeous, far from being comparable to the people.

insertion

In order to increase the layering of bamboo woodcarving, materials with different colors from the carrier are used to form patterns through mosaic. Such as inlay teeth, jade, stone, bamboo, wood, bone, mother-of-pearl, coral, tortoise shell, pearl, porcelain and so on. Embedding a variety of materials in a work is called "treasure embedding".
