Knowledge expansion:

Egg-colored painting originated from China folk. In Qing Dynasty, egg-colored paintings were popular in Jiangsu, Hunan, Beijing and other places. During the reign of Jiaqing and Daoguang (1796 ~ 1850), Suzhou folk had the custom of making fireflies, that is, sticking five-color paper on duck egg shells and then drawing them into fish shapes. There is a small hole in the eggshell, and fireflies are placed in the hole, which emit faint light through the eggshell at night for children to play with.

During the period of Daoguang and Xianfeng in Xi Hunag, Hunan Province (18,21~18,61), Tang Taizong's Fu on the Mountain was lightly engraved in small letters on the eggshell. During Guangxu period (1875 ~ 1908), there were painted Peking Opera masks and "Zodiac" eggs on the market in Beijing. Since the 1940s, egg-colored paintings have been mainly produced in Suzhou, and become a traditional local folk handicraft.

1950, Suzhou artist Zhou Gongdu painted tiger hills and other scenic spots on duck egg shells on the basis of traditional eggs, with bright colors. Sang Guoyan of Huqiu Temple also participated in painting, which improved the artistic level of egg-colored painting. Later, the production of egg paintings gradually developed, with more than 50 varieties of colors, which were exported to foreign countries.

1973, Zhou Gongdu created a hollowed-out egg painting, that is, hollowed out patterns on eggshells, which complemented the painting and enriched the art of egg painting.
