What is the art of gourd pyrography?

Gourd pyrography, also known as gourd pyrography and gourd fire painting, is a traditional arts and crafts with China characteristics and an intangible cultural heritage.

Gourd pyrography artists paint by ironing marks on objects, which can be permanently preserved and collected when they are integrated with gourds, which has extremely high artistic value. Hulu is one of the oldest mascots in China, which is homophonic "Fulu", meaning blessing, peace, auspiciousness, health, happiness and smoothness. While grasping the temperature and intensity, the creation of gourd pyrography pays attention to "putting pen to paper first, and it will be completed immediately". Gourd pyrography not only has the techniques of hook, pinch, point, dyeing, rubbing and painting in Chinese painting, but also can burn out rich layers and colors, which has a strong three-dimensional sense and resembles brown sketches and lithographs. Therefore, pyrography can not only maintain the national style of traditional painting, but also achieve the rigorous realistic effect of western painting, thus giving people an artistic enjoyment of simplicity and elegance and endless aftertaste.
