    China is an ancient civilization with an extremely profound cultural and artistic heritage. There are many crafts that are gradually lost or even have been lost. In the archaeological research, many exquisite and impressive handicrafts have been unearthed.

    Among them, watermark woodcut prints are the art category of excellent traditional culture in our history. It has a very exquisite skill and is also well-known internationally. It can be seen that culture and art know no borders.

    The predecessor of watermark woodcut creation originated from China's original printing technology and woodcut technology, and before the introduction of lithographing and lead printing technology, almost all of China's printing technology was watermarked. Drawings drawn by artists are carved out of wood and used to print illustrations on books. This technology was popular from the ancient Sui Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty.

    In the Ming Dynasty, the social economy was stable and prosperous, which created good conditions for the development of craft culture. During this period, woodcut art ushered in a greater and better development. The woodcut watermark has reached a very high artistic level, giving full play to the artistic characteristics of color rhyme and ink.

    Some classic woodcut watermark works have left an indelible mark in the art history of our country. <>

    Moreover, China's watermark process is also the source of the development of ukiyo-e printmaking art at the representative level in Japan. After the liberation, the development of watermark woodcut art became more diversified. The inheritance of an art needs to rely on enough attention and popularity in the eyes of the public.

    Only by not being forgotten can we continue to develop. We have a lot of exquisite crafts, intangible cultural heritage, that have been lost or on the verge of being lost due to a lack of attention and not seizing the opportunity in these rapidly changing times. <>

    Therefore, if watermark woodcut wants to be carried forward today, we should find a suitable way to make this skill officially enter the public's attention. For example, use this skill to make some popular film and television dramas or prints of anime characters, so that this art can attract the attention and interest of young people. If something wants to develop, it must absorb the young blood that it really loves.

    Watermark woodcut is an important category of traditional Chinese art, and its historical value is closely related to the invention of Chinese woodblock printing. When engraving printing has become an important carrier of human civilization, from the palace temple to the folk market, printmaking has become an art form that can be appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar, making books productive, appreciative, passable, and clothed in a way that makes Chinese painting play a wider cultural role through the dissemination of engraving.
