China's master of traditional bone carving is here.

In the long years of development, the Chinese nation has created a unique, elegant and eternal craft creation style for the history of human craft culture with diligence and wisdom. China arts and crafts are saturated with the cultural spirit and aesthetic consciousness of the Chinese nation, and have distinct aesthetic personality, which is mainly reflected in:

1, harmony China's traditional artistic thought attaches importance to the relationship between people and things, utility and beauty, literature and quality, form and spirit, heart and hand, material and art, and advocates "harmony" and "appropriateness".

2. symbolic. China's craft thought has always attached importance to the influence of creation on ethics. It emphasizes the connection between the sensory pleasure of things and the emotional satisfaction of aesthetics, and requires this connection to conform to ethical norms. Constrained by strong ethical consciousness, China's traditional craft creation usually contains specific meanings, and often symbolically expresses ethical and moral concepts through modeling, volume, scale, color or ornamentation. This symbolic pursuit often reduces the arts and crafts of the court or literati to the display of pure ethical concepts, resulting in the destruction of posturing or utilitarian effects. In contrast, more folk arts and crafts symbolized by the producer's own utilitarian will are vigorous, unpretentious and full of vitality.

China's craft thought attaches great importance to the natural quality of craft materials, advocates "managing materials with materials" and "applying arts with materials", and requires "shaping with materials and applying arts with quality". China traditional arts and crafts always respect the stipulation of materials in modeling or decoration, and make full use of or show the natural beauty of materials. This excellent craftsman has made China's craft creation have natural, naive, quiet and elegant tastes and feelings.
