The Life of the Author of Jiang Menshen Clay Sculpture

Zhang Changlin (1826- 1906) is beautiful in mountains and rivers, which comes down in one continuous line. Since childhood, I have been engaged in clay sculpture making with my father, and I have developed a unique skill. What he has to do is to discuss face to face with people and fight for the soil in his hand, quietly and instantly. The face is inch in diameter, not only in shape, but also lifelike. Clay figurine Zhang Caisu has a wide range of creative themes, mostly reflecting folk customs, or based on folk stories and stage plays, or directly based on classical literary masterpieces such as Water Margin, Dream of Red Mansions and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Modeling works are not only similar in shape, but also similar in spirit, reaching a state of both form and spirit. Clay figurine Zhang Caisu is elegant and bright in color and exquisite in materials. The clay figurine he pinched has a long history, is lifelike and enjoys a high reputation in the world. Foreigners have spent a lot of money to buy it and put it in the museum to watch. It has been regarded as an outstanding work in all previous exhibitions. The 1 China Museum of Modern Art, located in Luwu City, has specially set up the exhibition room of Tianjin clay figurine Zhang Caisu, displaying 58 colored plastic works. In recent years, clay figurine Zhang Caisu has actively promoted the friendly exchange of international culture and art, and has become a bridge between China and foreign countries.
