What are the bamboo carvings in the Tang Dynasty like?

Bamboo carvings in the Tang Dynasty are recorded in Tujing. At that time, bamboo carving techniques and works were the same as gold and silver carving and stone carving, and the carving method of "leaving green" could be used maturely.

According to Illustration, Wang Yijia, the secretariat of Dezhou in the Tang Dynasty, had a writing brush. The bamboo pen holder is slightly thicker than the ordinary pen holder, with half an inch at each end, auxiliary in the middle, chariots and horses, pavilions and clouds, all of which are exquisite; Everything is engraved with two lines of the poem "Join the Army", such as "Shu Qi has climbed to the front of the court, but the conscription from the Great Wall has never been returned", which seems inhuman. If the painting is painted in powder, it can be distinguished that the cloud carves the rat's teeth. Therefore, Cui Linglang's works are mainly "Wang's brushwork" and "Han's retreat painting". Bamboo carving in Han and Tang dynasties is still in the primary stage of art in the whole history of bamboo carving, which is characterized by paying attention to external modeling, but the carving of surface decoration is basically a relatively single expression technique, that is, line carving.
