I want to know the main types of ceramic handicrafts in Chaoshan area.

My friend, when you are wandering in the streets of Chaocheng and enjoying the ancient ancestral temple and distinctive folk houses in Chaozhou, will you realize that elegance, elegance, dexterity and exquisiteness are the common characteristics of chaozhou people's kung fu skills? If you want to go to Chaozhou to find works of art that imitate the rugged and magnificent components of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, you may have come to the wrong place. In the streets and alleys of Chaocheng, especially in the alleys where ancient houses are concentrated, exquisite handicrafts can be seen everywhere inadvertently. It is the specialty of hipsters to see the big from the small and shrink the inch into the dragon. Even the eaves of ordinary people are keen on carving beams and painting buildings. Although the porcelain statues embedded in the eaves of high tile ridges are not enough, they are still vivid and exquisite in craftsmanship. Like Ji Lue, Huanggong Temple is a classic masterpiece of gold lacquer wood carving by hipsters. Although it has been branded with years of peeling off, its superb skills such as round carving, hollow carving, re-carving and relief have broken through the limitations of time and space, vividly showing the multi-level complex contents such as figures, flowers and birds, which will always attract the attention of tourists and enthusiasts. On the stone wall of Xigong Temple Gate Building in Caitang, Chao 'an, there are four exquisite stone carvings of "fishing and plowing" hanging on the screen, each with 25 people, or interspersed in the pavilions on the balcony, or in the winding paths in the mountains, or casting nets to fish, or herding sheep at night, with different expressions and lifelike. Even the matchstick-like calf rope is hollowed out, which is a unique skill. It is said that this cow rope was repeatedly carved and broken, which made the whole screen hanging work in vain, and several skilled craftsmen were exhausted and anxious. The last little disciple pondered hard, soaked the slate with the juice of carambola to change the brittleness of the stone, and then hollowed it out to become a masterpiece. Chaozhou is known as the city of wood carving, and gold lacquer wood carving is one of the most exquisite and gorgeous decorative techniques in chaozhou people. Chaozhou woodcarving has a long history, and the existing handicrafts can be traced back to the Tang and Song Dynasties as well as the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Because it is widely used in the decoration of buildings and furniture, it has developed rapidly. Kangxi's Chaozhou Fuzhi records: "Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, whenever a palace is built, a ancestral hall must be built, with carved beams and painted buildings." As a result, the ancient houses in Chaozhou in the Qing Dynasty, "Shang Lu Gen" and "Si Fen Jin", competed to imitate the splendid decorative art, which made foreigners exclaim when they arrived in Chaozhou: "Chaozhou is full, and the imperial palace rises." Chaozhou woodcarving is mostly used in building components, as well as furniture decoration, utensils, desk furnishings and so on. Its techniques are generally divided into four kinds: heavy carving, relief carving, general carving and round carving, especially multi-level hollowing, some of which are as many as six or seven layers, forming a strong three-dimensional sense and vivid artistic effect. Themes include people's stories, flowers, birds, insects and fish, scenery and so on. As early as the late Qing Dynasty, Huang Shengxian, a famous woodcarving master in Chaozhou, boldly put the crab out of the cage on the beam of the temple for decoration, which formed a major breakthrough in the history of Chaozhou woodcarving. So far, Chaozhou "Crab Basket" is still a unique brand-name product. From 65438 to 0957, the multi-layer "Crab Basket" created by woodcarving artists Zhang Jianxuan and Chen Shunqiang won the Bronze Award of the International Youth Moscow Festival and was put into the Great Hall of the People. Chaozhou ceramic handicrafts are also a must-see for tourists visiting Chaozhou. As early as the Tang and Song Dynasties, Chaozhou's ceramics were very developed. According to "Ceramics Unearthed from Kilns in Tang and Song Dynasties in Guangdong Province", during the Song Dynasty, nearly 100 workshops specializing in firing ceramics had gathered at the foot of Bijia Mountain in eastern Chaozhou, commonly known as "Baiyao Village". Chaozhou is therefore called the porcelain capital. From the unearthed ceramics, it includes high-grade celadon and white porcelain at that time, as well as artistic porcelain and plastic products in the Northern Song Dynasty, involving porcelain for daily use, fine arts, architecture and industry, as well as porcelain for arts and crafts such as Persian cats and dogs. It can be seen that ceramic handicrafts at that time have been sold to Southeast Asia and even the Middle East. In modern times, Chaozhou ceramics production base has moved to Fengxi, Guxiang, Feng Tang, and the mountainous hinterland of Sanrao and Jiucun in Raoping. Chaozhou ceramics is especially famous for arts and crafts porcelain, and is known as "white as jade, as thin as paper, as bright as a mirror and as loud as a chime". In the process of painting, it is also innovative, forming a tidal color style with elegant creativity, fresh style, smooth lines, distinct layers, rich colors, full of gold, plain color and gold, each with its own spirit. 1959, in order to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the National Day, at the newly completed national arts and crafts exhibition held in the Great Hall of the People, the porcelain sculpture "Fifteen Passes" created by artist Lin Hongxi won the first prize; 1978 1.2m high "friendship" three-layer porcelain vase was created collectively and presented by Deng Xiaoping as a national gift porcelain to President Kim Il Sung of North Korea; 1979, the porcelain carving basket "Spring Colors" (1.3m) created by the artist Wang Longcai was selected and exhibited in the Guangdong Hall of the Great Hall of the People. 1February, 1998, Fengxi Jiangnan Ceramics Co., Ltd. produced a huge relief mural "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", which is 62 meters long and 2.9 meters wide. The main picture consists of 1352 embossed porcelain plates, which was recorded in the Guinness Book of Records on July 1998. In the past 20 years, the characters created by master craftsmen and Wu are more vivid and realistic, and are often praised by the world. Chaozhou ceramics are used for architectural decoration, not only glazed tiles, porcelain animals, daily building ceramics, but also the decorative technology of mosaic various porcelain pieces into various images. This art began in the Ming Dynasty and prevailed in the Qing Dynasty. Chaozhou is rich in ceramics, and all kinds of porcelain pieces are readily available. At first, artists just embedded fragments in various simple patterns and pasted them on buildings as decorations. Because of its simple materials, bright colors, not afraid of the sun and rain, never fading, and the sparkling reflection gives people a variety of aesthetic feelings, it has developed rapidly and began to appear low-temperature multi-color porcelain bowls that can be easily broken and cut into pieces. Used as porcelain inlay material, it is widely used in roofs, eaves, gatehouses and zhaobi of ancestral halls, temples, houses and other buildings, with themes of dragons and phoenixes, landscapes, figures, animals and plants, etc. 1982, Kaiyuan Temple was completely renovated, and the roof of Tianwang Temple was inlaid with the shape of "Shuanglong fried fire treasure"; /kloc-during the period of 0/999, a new Tianhou Palace was built on Fenghuang Island, and various artistic shapes such as "Three Yang Kai Tai" were embedded in the roof and eaves. Chaozhou's craftsmanship is exotic, exotic and beautiful. Chaozhou embroidery has more traditional characteristics and is integrated with modern fashion. This is an embroidery that never fades. Chaozhou embroidery is one of the four famous embroideries in China, and Guangdong embroidery is the most representative system. Chaozhou embroidery is famous for its combination of golden velvet, balanced and full composition, rich and bright colors, clear texture, strong decoration and unique embroidery methods. According to Lingnan Series, Guangdong embroidery workers in the Qing Dynasty mostly came from Guangzhou, Chaozhou and other places, especially Chaozhou embroidery workers, who were all men and were good at sewing, which was rare in other provinces and cities. In the second year of Qing Dynasty (19 10), Chaozhou embroidery won the prize in the National Craft Competition held in Nanjing. The winning works mainly included Guo Ziyi's Birthday, Quail Bird and Lion Dance. Twenty-four people, including Lin Xinquan, Zhang Guiquan and Wang Bingnan, who participated in the production, were praised as the "Twenty-four Embroidery Champion". Later, he successively participated in international expositions held by the United States, Britain and Nanyang Persuasion Association, all of which were well received. Once upon a time, embroidery was the basic livelihood skill of Chaozhou girls. Embroidery skills often become the hardware and boast capital of girls when they make love. The pillows and sweat towels embroidered by girls in Huanghua are the keepsakes of love. After the reform and opening-up, Chaozhou embroidery brought forth new ideas and advanced its skills by leaps and bounds. During the period of 1982, a number of fine works, such as "Jiulong Screen" and "Piping Style" created and embroidered by arts and crafts artists Lin and Liu Ju, won the "Second China Arts and Crafts Hundred Flowers Award" Gold Cup Award respectively. Chaozhou embroidery is divided into velvet embroidery, nail embroidery (silver embroidery), mixed embroidery with golden velvet, yarn embroidery and other varieties, each with different materials and embroidery methods, and its artistic effect is also different. In recent years, bead embroidery has developed rapidly, combined with fashion and decorated with various beads, which not only maintains the characteristics of bright colors and outstanding relief effect of Chaozhou embroidery, but also embodies the perfect combination of tradition and times and adapts to the international fashion trend. Nowadays, Ming Rui Group (formerly Chaozhou Chaozhou Chaozhou Embroidery Factory), which is well-known at home and abroad, has innovated beaded fashions, wedding dresses and other products, which are deeply welcomed by customers at home and abroad for their magnificent and fantastic artistic effects. Products are exported to Europe, America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and more than 50 countries and regions, becoming the innovative and fashionable production and export base of Chaozhou embroidery. The exquisiteness of tide art is also reflected in the drawing of yarn. There are dozens of production techniques, such as cushion embroidery, carving embroidery, Ping Xiu, cross stitch, flower window, window hanging, silk alignment and flower opening. These colorful techniques, through the ingenious design of composition and layout, have formed the unique style of Chaozhou embroidery, enriched and developed the varieties of Chaozhou embroidery, and become the main products to earn foreign exchange through export.
