What kind of bamboo carving skills were famous bamboo carving artists good at in Ming and Qing Dynasties?
? A: The famous bamboo carving artists in Ming and Qing Dynasties have their own strengths in bamboo carving techniques, not only in carving techniques, but also in the characteristics of themes and varieties. Therefore, the classification of "Jiading School" and "Jinling School" is not enough to understand the technical expertise of famous bamboo carving artists in Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are many outstanding "bamboo people" in the late Qing Dynasty, neither "Jiading School" nor "Jinling School". Therefore, from the perspective of bamboo carving techniques, some famous bamboo carving artists in Ming and Qing Dynasties are introduced as follows: (1) The deep floating sleeping round carving was created by Zhu Songling's grandparents and grandchildren. Later, Hou Songzeng, Qin Yixuan, Shen Jian, Feng Xilu, Shi Tianzhang and others died one after another. Feng is especially good at carving figures with bamboo roots. By the time of Jiaqing, Cai Shimin was still making three-dimensional round carvings, but later he was on the verge of being lost. (2) Pu Zhongqian created the carving method of shallow carving or micro-chisel. Pan Xifeng also carved bamboo in this way. Scholars carved bamboo and admired Pu Zhongqian's natural taste, so there were successors. (3) According to legend, it was written by Zhang at the end of Ming Dynasty. Because the art of youth living in France is rich in expression, there are successors. Shang Xun (1796- 1850), a Taoist master in Ting Anne, is also a master of painting and carving relief. But he is not from Jiading, which is not recorded in Zhuren Zhuren Biography, and the inscription is too simple. So far, his name, penetration, date of birth and death are unknown. (4) The relief created by Wu Zhikun is a kind of bas-relief, which can be expressed in two ways: the first way is to use composition techniques, that is, to separate the far and near levels of space through the covering and overlapping of scenes, so the depth of perspective can be expressed at a limited height or even at the same level. Secondly, the bamboo carving pattern only accounts for a part of the whole device, and a large area of plain bamboo filaments and finely carved patterns set each other off. Therefore, critics have a comment on Wu Zhikun's handling of bamboo, which is "exquisite". Inheriting this skill is her husband Zhu Wenyou (or right composition), named Zhai Yun. And Wang Zhiyu, Shao, escaped from the heat. Because his uncle Xu He is a neighbor, Wang Zhiyu can learn the method of "writing in thin places", and carving bamboo is also famous for some time. (5) In the early Qing Dynasty, the landscape figures carved by Wu Zhikun still came from the Northern School. Therefore, Jin Jianzhai's evaluation of Zhu Zusun's works is as follows: "Generally speaking, flowers and birds caress, the landscape of freehand figures is between Ma (Yuan) and Xia (Gui), painting Nanzong is the practice, and carving bamboo advocates Beizong more." But in the early Qing dynasty, the painting circle was dominated by four kings and one faction. Therefore, the painter is orthodox about Nanzong landscape. Zhou Hao, a famous bamboo carving artist, can carve landscapes without other people's paintings. He uses a knife like a pen, mainly in intaglio carving, pays attention to rough carving, is light and gloomy, and has sharp knife marks. Although he is a southern Sect, he is very interested in chopping people with axes, because he has the reputation of combining the southern Sect with the northern Sect. It has a great influence on later bamboo carvings. Zhou Li, whose name is Sam, is Zhou Hao's nephew and a painter. His bamboo carvings are rich and exquisite, and his reputation is comparable to that of Zhou Hao. He is called "Two Weeks in the South".

Xu Fang has a unique method. Her face is embossed underground and the rest is carved in the shade. Although the concave and convex are different, the yin and yang are concave and convex, and the eyebrows are full of vitality. The two methods can be seamlessly unified. Therefore, some critics call its unique carving method "shallow carving in the ground" (1 1). The description book is based on famous paintings, which can be directly inked on the bamboo surface by famous artists, while the previous famous paintings can only be abbreviated. Zhu made a pen container for a lady with a screen. The manuscript was taken from Chen Laolian's illustration "A Brief Look" for "Due North West Chamber".
