Like other works, wood carving handicrafts are not suitable for high temperature environment, exposure to the sun will make the wood brittle and hard, and the texture will be damaged, especially not placed on the balcony, and placed in the window should also be next to the curtain, a shaded place.

For example, the wood of longan wood carving is hard, so it should be protected from sunlight, and the furnishings in the room should be kept in a humid environment to prevent drying and cracking. At the same time, wood carving handicrafts should not be placed near open flames, fire walls, fire kangs, and stoves.

In a very humid environment, some wood carving crafts will grow "hair". For example, green sandalwood handicrafts will spit out silvery-white silk. It's a beautiful sight, but as far as I know, many people don't like it.

If the environment is too dry, some wood carving crafts may partially crack. Besides, everyone's living standard is much higher now than in the past. The simplest is embodied in the life of the north, there is heating in the winter, and air conditioning can be blown in the summer. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the wood carving handicrafts and not blow directly against the air withering wind. Don't put him near the heating pipe either.

It should not be wiped with a towel with water, and it is better to wipe it with a cotton towel containing wax or grease. Many people buy wood carving crafts and like to wipe them with a wet rag.

If you often wipe with a wet rag, the water will penetrate deep into the wood carving, and gradually the wood carving will be damaged, so you can use a dry cotton cloth or a feather duster to dust off the wood carving handicrafts when cleaning, if you find that the luster of the wood carving handicrafts is not good, you can use a brush to coat the surface of the woodcarving handicrafts with a polishing wax, and wipe and polish it with a rag.

Or wipe with waxy or greasy fabrics, usually depending on whether the room is clean or not, often use a dry cotton cloth or feather duster to dust off the wood carving handicrafts to show their natural beauty. Of course, you can also use a cotton towel dipped in some walnut kernel oil, and gently rub it on the surface of wood carving handicrafts to achieve the ideal effect.

However, do not wipe with a towel with water, as this will make the wood carving crafts too wet, which will not achieve the desired effect and hurt them. Small pieces of mahogany can be wiped more red and bright, and can add an elegant artistic conception.

Dongyang wood carving masterpieces have been produced one after another, and famous works such as "Wen Ji Returns to Han", "Huangshan Scenery", "Ganlu Temple", "Three Heroes Battle Lu Bu" and so on have been included in the national collection treasures. Hangzhou Lingyin Temple with 26 tons of camphor wood carved "Buddha Buddha Statue", the new Lei Feng Pagoda in the giant wall hanging "White Snake Legend", are Dongyang wood carving boutique.

After nearly a thousand years of development, the craftsmanship and artistic level of Dongyang wood carving have been greatly improved after the Song Dynasty. The engraving technique is exquisite, and the conception of the subject matter is skillful. The form and technique of architectural carving skills are basically fixed, forming their own set of decorative techniques and artistic styles. Furniture decoration carving is also all-encompassing, all to achieve the harmony and unity of modeling and decoration, practicality and art.

In terms of content, Dongyang wood carving in this period paid more attention to social needs, and Dongyang wood carving artists spread the saying that "carving flowers must be auspicious in order to meet people's expectations; There must be a drama in the painting, and only when you see it can you taste it". After the Song Dynasty, the content and aesthetic essence of Dongyang wood carving art gradually tended to be popular.

The idea of the work pays more attention to the psychology of the people, and the design of the work is more close to the people. Most of the themes are from the calligraphy and painting works of the literati, and they are enriched by combining the characteristics of Dongyang folk house wood carving and decorative art. Flowers, birds and beasts often carry auspicious and festive meanings.

For example, the phoenix wears the peony, the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, the mandarin duck plays in the water, and the pine crane prolongs the year. The change and abundance of demand also promoted the development of Dongyang wood carving skills, and in the Song Dynasty, Dongyang wood carving skills reached the realm of proficiency.

During the Ming Dynasty, early capitalism had sprouted, giving rise to simple employment relations and early capitalist bureaucrats. Wealthy employers have more and higher pursuits, and pay more attention to the construction of mansions.

This is an important opportunity for the development of Dongyang wood carving. In the Ming Dynasty, Dongyang wood carving matured and was widely used in the decoration of buildings and furniture. The large courtyard-style building "Suyong Hall" built in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty is one of the representatives of architecture in this period.

After the Ming Dynasty became popular in carving woodblock printing, Dongyang gradually developed into a famous production area of wood carving craft in the Ming Dynasty. It mainly produces Arhats, Buddha statues and architectural decorations such as palaces, temples, gardens, and residences.

In the Qing Dynasty, Dongyang wood carving entered its heyday. History, since the beginning of the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, to build a royal palace, carving a skill, more from the Dongyang wood carving leader. This has laid an important position of Dongyang wood carving in the domestic arts and crafts industry.

In the Qing Dynasty, it entered its heyday. During the period of the Republic of China, Dongyang wood carving turned from door-to-door processing to factory production, and set up factories in Hong Kong, Singapore and other places, and the products were sold overseas. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the thousand-year-old trees bloomed new flowers, and Dongyang wood carving ushered in another spring.

Dongyang wood carving is a carving art based on plane relief. Its multi-layered reliefs, scattered perspective compositions, and flat decoration have formed their own distinctive characteristics. Because of the light color, the natural texture and color of the log are retained, and the style is elegant, so it is called "white wood carving".

Dongyang wood carving, known as a fine historical tradition and artistic style, is known for its rich subject matter, skillful conception and design, exquisite carving techniques, and the ingenious combination of art and practicality. From ancient times to the present, it has been known for hundreds of years.

China's wood carving art has a long history, as early as the Stone Age, Dongyang this ancient land has the germ of carving art. In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, with the emergence of copper and ironware, the handicraft industry developed rapidly, and the "six crafts" were subdivided, and woodworking and wood carving began to have wood carving handicrafts.

To the ancestor of wood carving, the Luban era, there were round carving, relief carving and other craft techniques. It is difficult to verify when Dongyang wood carving began, but from the comprehensive inference of the entire history of the development of Chinese wood carving and the excavation and research of brother art categories, wood carving art must have appeared on the land of Dongyang in the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

In the Tang Dynasty, Dongyang wood carving formed its own artistic style and decorative techniques, presenting the prototype of Dongyang wood carving. According to historical records, during the Taihe period of the Tang Dynasty, Dongyang Feng high-rise building Feng Su, Feng Ding Mansion, very luxurious, there is a description of "the high-rise painting column shines into the eye, and its next step corridor is several half miles", the scale is grand, and the decoration is exquisite.

In the Song Dynasty, Dongyang wood carving took another step forward, and it has paid attention to fine processing. Unearthed in 1963, the wood carving Buddha statue of the Northern Song Dynasty South Temple Pagoda (built in 961 AD) is the earliest existing Dongyang wood carving work. This deep relief work based on lines and combining lines and surfaces, the characters are dignified and kind, and the eyebrows and beards are full of expression, which is unpretentious, indicating that Dongyang wood carving has formed its own style.

In the Ming Dynasty, Dongyang wood carving, which was applied to architecture and furniture decoration, developed rapidly, and there was a complete and unique artistic style system. This is not only expressed in the handicrafts and many pieces of furniture, but also in the decoration of ancient buildings, which has reached an unprecedented degree of perfection.

A large number of ancient buildings and furniture of the Ming Dynasty and Buddhist articles exist in Dongyang, such as "Suyong Hall" (built in 1456) which is a typical representative of this period. It can be seen from the works of the world that the Dongyang wood carving of the Ming Dynasty is mainly based on bas-relief, deep relief and hollow carving, and the figures are rough and unrestrained, the composition is concise and bright, and the form and spirit are both.

In the Qing Dynasty, Dongyang wood carving entered its heyday. History: During the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods, hundreds of Dongyang wood carving leaders were recruited to the capital to engage in palace carving and decoration until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

The rich man carved the "Thousand Workers Bed" and "Ten Miles of Red Dowry" for a while.

In the Republic of China, wood carving artists flowed to the city, and the business mode shifted from door-to-door processing to factory production.

At the 1915 Panama International Exposition, Renyi Factory's Dongyang wood carving box frame and bookcase won the medal, and the interior furnishing wood carving handicraft won the gold medal.
