What exquisite root carvings have you ever seen?

I think the most exquisite root carving I have ever seen is the root carving of a fairy, which feels very beautiful.

I once saw a particularly beautiful root carving, carved into the shape of a dragon, hovering there, very beautiful.

In my home, there is a natural root carving work, a coffee table. It is one meter eight long and one meter wide. The roots of the tree are surrounded by a strange stone. The stone weighs hundreds of pounds. See**.

The most beautiful root carving I have ever seen is particularly beautiful, it is a carved tree, the bark is lifelike, there are branches and leaves, the strong wind blows constantly, the leaves are green in spring, the leaves will turn yellow in autumn, and the leaves are hidden in winter! This carver is really amazing.

A friend once gave me a cabbage root carving. The carving is really lifelike, except that the color is different from the cabbage, it can be fake.

I've seen crutches made out of pear pimples, and carved into the shape of an old man, which is very beautiful.

I especially admire the root carving master to carve a dead wood into a beautiful beauty, vivid, lifelike, unconvinced, exquisite.

In my hometown, I have a collection of particularly classic root carvings. This root carving is not particularly big, he is more than ten catties. However, the content of his carving is really interesting, it is, the scene of Su Shi's rafting on the red cliff.

Root carving, is a carving method, is one of the traditional Chinese carving arts, is to take the self-generated form and distorted form of tree roots as the object of artistic creation, through the conception of ideas, artistic processing and technological processing, to create people, animals, utensils and other artistic image works.

I also love root art, but I think that root art should maintain its natural form, nature, is the magic left by nature, a little processing, careful polishing, rather than artificial carving, too carving, is wood carving, not called root carving.

I have always been particularly fond of the flower stand and coffee table.

We have a carved street here, and when I pass by, I see a big dragon, which is so shocking.

Exquisite root carving is not carved, how much you think, but how natural, the more natural the better!

I think the watermelons carved by some gourmets are very beautiful and reluctant to eat.

First, it is necessary to find the value of root carving from history.

If you want to collect the root carving, you must like the root carving, take it as a part of life, usually pay attention to more research and thinking, from the perspective of collection, the longer the history and culture of the general root carving, the greater its appreciation space.

Recently, the root carving artwork related to the historical theme has gradually become popular, and a raw material on the market is the thousand-year-old fine leaf red camphor wood root root of the "Qingming Shanghe Tu" camphor wood root carving, the market value is as high as 6 million, is one of the examples.

At the same time, from the perspective of shape, the more peculiar root carving works will conquer more and more collectors with their ingenious charm, so the appreciation potential is also huge; On the other hand, some of the older root carvings are also highly regarded by many collectors.

Second, the root carving with good material has great potential for appreciation.

In terms of material, generally speaking, boxwood, sandalwood made of root carving is better, their material is hard, delicate wood, not easy to crack and deform, the variety is relatively good; The color of the roots of camphor wood is relatively good-looking, simple and natural, and the fragrance is pleasant, which is a good material for making root carving artworks; The roots of yew trees are not easy to crack, deform, and decay, and change from light red to dark red until they turn reddish-brown, giving people an antique feeling.

There is a unique shape of the root carving is actually natural, only after a little carving or even no carving, an excellent work has been freshly baked, the work is vivid, let people think about it, so that people really read the microcosm of nature and even a society.

Third, the integrity and representation of good root carving collection value is high.

The most taboo of root carving is shoddy and messy splicing, which often leads to the regression of its value. Of course, in order to make the meaning of the root carving more obvious, it is essential to make some large-scale touch-ups, but it is important to maintain its integrity, otherwise it will only be counterproductive.

I can't see it, I just say it, I can't think of it.

Not all tree roots are valuable, first look at the material, Hainan Huanghuali, Vietnam Huanghuali, red sandalwood, yew, golden silk nan, gloomy wood ebony, cypress, precious wood root carving is valuable, in the carver, the national master works are valuable, the provincial master works secondly, and finally look at the modeling, the complete 1 root carving is valuable, the cut into the root carving is not valuable, the shape is strange and valuable, the whole material of the sea yellow is the root carving of the master work of millions of you can't buy, 5 meters of the cliff cypress is too line into the material, the flying dragon is in the sky, the auction record is 100 million.

Root carving is based on the self-generated and distorted form of tree roots (including tree body, tree nodules, bamboo roots, etc.) as the object of artistic creation, through conception, artistic processing and technological processing, to create people, animals, utensils and other artistic image works. The art of root carving is to find natural beauty and show creative processing of plastic arts, the so-called "three points of artificial, seven points of nature", that is to say, in the creation of root carving, most of the natural form of the root material should be used to express the artistic image, a small part of the artificial processing and modification, therefore, the root carving is also called "the art of the root" or "the art of the root".

Material selection is the first step in the production of root carving. The wood used for root carving must be selected with hard, delicate wood, stable wood, not easy to crack and deform, and can be preserved for a long time without decay, such as boxwood, sandalwood, beech, cypress, elm, etc. The dead roots that have been submerged or buried deep in the soil by water and silt, and the ancient gloomy root trees formed by carbonization over hundreds of years, are almost close to fossils in quality, and they are the best materials for root art.

The selection criteria for root material modeling can be summarized into four types: "rare, strange, ancient and strange", which are extremely rare in nature. The roots of trees that generally grow in plains or mountainous areas with thick soil layers are fast due to sufficient water and nutrients, and the wood fibers are also relatively loose, making it difficult to form peculiar forms. Only the roots that grow in the harsh environment, such as the growth of the sun or the cliff in the stone crevices, and through the lightning split, fire, ant erosion, stone pressure, human stepping, knife cutting and tenacious survival of the roots, due to the lack of light, lack of soil, less water and lack of nutrients, long and not gradually deformed, the longer the year, the stronger the quality, the more strange and vigorous the shape, is the ideal material for root art.

The conception of root art creation must focus on protecting the shape of nature to the greatest extent and overflowing the beauty of nature, and all traces of man-made artistic recreation must be hidden in it. In the conception, the root material should be comprehensively observed from multiple angles, repeatedly speculated, according to the shape and potential, and can be finalized after careful consideration. If the idea is immature and difficult to break for a while, it can be put aside for a period of time, and it is often a year and a half before an unexpected harvest can be found.

The development of root carving art in China can be said to have a long history. As early as the primitive society, people have carved wood as decorations. In 1982, when the Jingzhou Regional Museum in Hebei Province cleaned up the No. 1 Chu Tomb in Mashan, it found the root carving Sun Da's artwork "Ward Off Evil" during the Warring States Period of China.

According to the research of Fu Min of the State Department of Cultural Relics, the cultural relics were made in the late Warring States period, between 340 BC and 270 BC, 2,300 years ago. Its shape is a four-legged monster with a tiger head, a dragon body and a rabbit tail, which is full of dynamic charm and charm, and the color is quaint and simple. By the Sui and Tang dynasties, the development of root art had tended to prosper.

There is a record of Li Mi using natural tree roots to make "dragon-shaped claws" and dedicate them to the emperor. During the Qingming Dynasty, the root art works "Jade Exquisite Qilin" and "Phoenix" are not in the Shanghai Yuyuan display so far. These works are "three points artificial, seven points natural", and the charm of the root art works is vividly expressed.

Since the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the country has been revitalized, the economy has prospered, and the root art cause has also flourished. After the filming of the documentary "The Art of Roots" in 1983, the "Art of Chinese Roots" exhibition was held at the National Art Museum of China in 1985, and the Root Art Research Association of the China Arts and Crafts Society was established.

In the Southern Qi Dynasty, there is a record of the "Ruyi" given by the ancestor of Qi to the hermit monk, and at the same time, there were also some practical products, furnishings and furniture made of roots.

these works"Three points of labor, seven points of nature", the charm of the root art works is expressed at a glance. Since the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee, Genyi has also reached a period of vigorous development. Moreover, more than 40 root art groups have been developed across the country.

In particular, Fujian, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangsu and other provinces of the root carving art manufacturers continue to increase, the production of root art has formed a certain scale, and the creative level of root art has reached a new peak.

The people who create the root art are all the giants of the country, each of them is a perfect work, and they are all painstaking works.

Root carving originated in the Warring States Period, formed in the Han and Jin dynasties, the production of root carving is from simple to complicated process, starting from the production of simple and practical small items, such as pen holders, pen holders, etc., to the later complex large ornaments and various furniture of rich people.

It originated in the Western Han Dynasty, and the descendants of Confucius used to make crutches using the naturally curved form of Kai wood. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were many practical items and furniture made from tree roots, such as cane heads, pen holders, Buddha handles, grapples, and pipes. After the Sui and Tang dynasties, the root carving was not only widely circulated among the people, but also favored by the royal family and nobles.

Root carving is based on the self-generated and distorted form of tree roots, or tree bodies, tree nodules, bamboo roots, etc., as the object of artistic creation, through the conception of ideas, artistic processing and technological processing, to create people, animals, utensils and other artistic image works. In the creation of root carving, most of them use the natural form of the root material to express the artistic image, and a small part is artificially processed, so it is also called "the art of the root".

The root carving pays attention to natural nature: three points of artificial, seven points of nature.

The description of the root carving is inseparable from China's profound traditional culture, therefore, in the description of the root carving, we must not only see the shape of the root carving, but also deeply understand the ideas and culture it contains.

I hope it can help you: Guilin Jiatianxia root carving!

In the creation of root carving, most of the natural form of the root material should be used to express the artistic image, and a small part of it should be artificially modified, so the root carving is also called "root art" or "root art".

Seven branches and eight branches, complex root body.

Ingenuity is natural, beauty is useful, so that the "strangeness" of natural beauty and the "ingenuity" of artificial beauty are naturally combined to realize the original creative idea. Because the root carving should be skillful and natural, although it has been applied but does not leave obvious traces, the artistic style of the whole work is integrated.
