What tricks can stone carving play?

Stone carving is a kind of plastic arts, also known as sculpture, which is the general name of three creative methods: carving, engraving and plastic. Refers to the art of using various plastic materials (such as gypsum, resin, clay, etc.). ) or hard materials (such as wood, stone, metal, jade, agate, etc.). ) Create a visual and tangible artistic image with a certain space, thus reflecting social life and expressing the artist's aesthetic feelings, emotions and ideals. Commonly used stones are granite, marble, bluestone and sandstone. Stone is hard and weathering-resistant, and it is the main material for large-scale commemorative sculptures. China stone carving has a long history, and was selected into the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list in 2008. There are various design methods of stone carving, which can be divided into relief, round carving, re-carving, shadow carving, carving and general carving.

Release. That is, carving a three-dimensional image on the stone surface is a semi-three-dimensional sculpture. Because the image is embossed on the stone surface, it is called relief. According to the degree of stone removal, it can be divided into shallow relief and high relief. The bas-relief is a single-level statue with simple content and no hollowing out. High relief is a multi-level sculpture with complex content. It is more attractive to take hollowing out by carving. Relief is mostly used for wall decoration of buildings, as well as dragon columns and drums in temples. The Imperial Palace in Beijing is a relief. Round carving. It is a single three-dimensional quasi-modeling art, and every surface of the stone needs to be processed. This technology is good at hollowing out and fine chopping axe. There are many kinds of this kind of carving, most of which are carved from one stone, and some are made up of multiple stones. These sculptures have developed many micro-products, some as small as stones, some as thin as cicadas, and more ingenious, so they are called "micro-sculptures". This kind of products have completely divorced from architectural practicality and become pure handicrafts. Because they are small in size and easier to carry, they are commemorative treasures and have good development prospects.

Re-carve Also known as "line carving", it is a work of art that uses the carving method of "grinding water and sinking flowers". This carving method absorbs the traditional brushwork and meaning of Chinese painting, the overlapping of line modeling, scattered perspective and so on. After the stone is polished by plane processing, the pattern characters are described, and then lines are carved according to the graphics, and the three-dimensional sense is reflected by shadows. This kind of products are mostly used for the surface decoration of building exterior walls, which is artistic. Shadow carving. A new handicraft developed on the basis of the early "needle black and white" craft. The earliest works were not created by Huian artists in the 1960s. Because all works are based on photos, they are called "shadow sculptures". This kind of carving is cut and sawed into flat plates with jade crystal lake bluestone. First polish the surface. Using the characteristics that it can show white spots after cutting and chiseling, tiny spots with different sizes, shades and densities are cut with sharp tools, which are only divided into different levels of black and white, so that the image is displayed, which is not only delicate and realistic, but also unique in charm. It is the development of stone carving to pure art, which opens up a new road for the emergence of stone carving technology. Carving. Sculpture is a form of sculpture, also called hollowing-out sculpture, which hollows out the part of the stone that does not express the image, leaving the part that can express the image.

Carving is a technique developed in circular carving, and it is also a carving technique that Shoushan stone expresses the three-dimensional spatial level of objects. It is developed from the traditional stone carving technology in China. Ancient masons often carved dragons with stone balls in their mouths. The dragon ball is peeled off from the original stone, which is bigger than Longkou, and it can't slide out when rolling in Longkou. This kind of moving "bead" in the dragon button lithograph is the simplest hollow carving. By carving. In relief works, it is called preserving the prominent image part by carving, and partially hollowing out the back. The similarities and differences among through carving, through carving and chain carving are as follows: all three are through-shaped, but the back of through carving is mostly expressed in the form of picture insertion, which can be divided into single-sided through carving and double-sided through carving. One-sided through carving only carves the front side, while double-sided through carving carves the front and back images at the same time. Whether it is single-sided or double-sided, it is essentially different from carving and chain carving, that is, carving and chain carving are 360-degree carvings, not front or back. Therefore, carving and chain carving belong to round carving techniques, while through carving is an extension of relief techniques.
