Main schools of bamboo carving
When any art develops to a certain stage, it will always form a genre. The bamboo carving art in China gradually formed a genre after it matured in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. China folk collection of bamboo carvings, there are many famous Ming and Qing works. Since Zheng De and Jiajing in Ming Dynasty, the art of bamboo carving has developed very rapidly, and some outstanding artists have emerged in almost every period. At that time, bamboo carving scholars were mostly concentrated in Jiading and Jinling, Jiangsu Province, and some scholars divided these exquisite and elegant works into schools according to carving techniques and style characteristics, so the Jiading School appeared. The production center of Jiading School is mainly in Jiading, Jiangsu (now Jiading County, Shanghai), featuring "deep knife carving, that is, the knife is deep and steep, and the depression is shallow and deep, reaching five or six floors". Works can show rich picture levels and three-dimensional effects, so they occupy an extremely important position in the history of bamboo carving in China. Zhu He is the earliest founder of Jiading School. In Jiading bamboo carving art, Zhu, Zhu and Zhu are the most famous three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, and are known as "Jiading Three Zhu". In the Ming Dynasty, the basic style of Three Zhus in Jiading was evaluated, saying that "the rules of flowers and birds are enjoyable, the landscape of characters is between horses and summer, the painting method is mainly in the Southern Song Dynasty, and bamboo carvings advocate the Northern Song Dynasty. It's quaint and ancient, and it's full of fun. " That is to say, the bamboo carving flower-and-bird painting of "Jiading Zhu San" is in the same strain as the literati painting of Xu Xi, a famous painter of the Five Dynasties. It pays attention to "ink painting", mostly freehand brushwork, with techniques such as large freehand brushwork and small freehand brushwork, which can convey the elegance and "wildness" of literati; "Jiading Zhu San" bamboo landscape painting is similar to the painting style represented by famous painters Ma Yuan and Xia Gui in the Southern Song Dynasty. Ma Yuan's landscape painting is contrary to the panoramic composition method of landscape painting in the Northern Song Dynasty. The center of gravity of the picture is biased to a corner, "or the top of the dangerous peak is not seen straight up, or the foot of the cliff is not seen straight down, or the mountain is close to the sky and the close-up view is prominent", which belongs to the arrangement of intercepting the brief part. Xia Gui's paintings also like to take a corner of one side as a "cut" scene. Therefore, in the history of painting, it is called "the corner between horse and Xia Banbian". Jiading's three bamboo landscape paintings are also "cut", so they are full of interest.

After that, his son, Sun Zhu, was also a famous bamboo carving artist in Jiading. There are many descendants of "Jiading Three Zhu". According to the Records of Jiading County and Bamboo People, there are no fewer than 20 or 30 famous artists of Jiading School, among whom Qin Yixuan, Shen Jian, Wu Zhiyao, Feng Cilu, Zhou Hao, Shi Tianzhang, Gu Jue and Cai Shimin are the world. The bamboo carvings of Jiading School were acquired in the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Ganjia periods of Qing Dynasty (1662- 1820), reaching the golden age. Jiading is therefore called "the hometown of bamboo carving", and Jiading School has become a famous and brilliant bamboo carving school, which has a far-reaching influence on later generations. In the bamboo carvings of Jiading School, due to different times and different cultural and artistic qualities of everyone, the famous works have their own personality characteristics. From the mid-Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the Jinling School initiated by Pucheng was able to keep pace with the Jiading School in the art of bamboo carving. The main characteristics of the Jinling School bamboo carving were shallow carving and simple carving. This kind of carving is not deep and the level is not reduced. The surface is slightly scratched, but it is antique and very tasty. Although it seems to be a few strokes, it has far-reaching artistic conception.

Jinling Party attaches great importance to the use of round carvings, and the selection of materials is strict. When carving, you are good at taking shapes instead of making them. Jinling School is also good at bamboo carving calligraphy, which adds a strong literati flavor to the traditional bamboo carving in China. This is the charm of the bamboo carving art of Jinling School, and it is also the concrete expression of its main characteristics. However, since Pucheng was founded, few people have been personally taught or directly influenced by it. After Pucheng, only Pan Xifeng and Fang made the most outstanding achievements and gained increasing fame, and were regarded as the two pillars of Jinling School. Since then, it has been impacted by the prevalence of bamboo carvings of Jiading school in various places, and finally its influence has declined and it has almost been lost. Huizhou bamboo carving

One of the traditional "Huizhou Four Carvings". Huizhou buildings are mostly brick, wood and stone structures, and there are few bamboo buildings, so bamboo carvings are rarely used for architectural decoration. Huizhou bamboo carving generally takes Huizhou's abundant bamboo as the raw material, uses the knife instead of the pen, and uses techniques such as line carving, shallow relief and deep relief to carve out various paintings and calligraphy. These works, there are celebrity calligraphy ink; Landscape scenery with scenic spots and historical sites; Fairy tales with folklore; There are many kinds of rare birds and animals, and their subjects are extremely extensive.

Generally, people are carved into inscriptions, filled with stone-green materials, and hung in the hall, which is antique. Some are carved into pictures on semi-arc bamboo pieces as decorative parts of buildings, but most of them are independent paintings with fine carving. Some bamboo carvings are painted, and some keep the true color of bamboo; Even if paint is used, it is usually painted with light color or tung oil, which not only has luster, but also reveals the vein of bamboo fiber and achieves a fresh and elegant aesthetic effect.
