He is famous for his superb artistic attainments and exquisite craftsmanship. Known as "the first person of cloisonne in China", it has won many honors at home and abroad.
Zhang Tonglu, a 72-year-old master, worked behind closed doors for two years, creating silently. In this exhibition, Master Zhang brought his innovative achievement-cloisonne enamel painting for exclusive release. Cloisonne enamel painting is a new category developed on the basis of traditional cloisonne craft. It breaks through the limitation that cloisonne can only be attached to copper tires, and extends the cloisonne technique to graphic works, thus presenting a surprising three-dimensional decorative art effect.
Among the works on display, Zhang Tonglu B Wei's innovative works "Raise Your Eyes" and "Universiade" in the Year of the Sheep are outstanding representatives, marking the continuous leap from tradition to innovation in Zhang Tonglu. More than 50 works on site, most of which are innovative works of Zhang Tonglu in recent years, are refreshing.

During this period, the two sides not only jointly created many intriguing classics, but also opened a new milestone in the cloisonne art world. This time, under the witness of all parties, Master Zhang Tonglu specially awarded the exclusive agency of his invention and national patent to Rong Hui Art Center.
In the past 56 years, Master Zhang Tonglu has not only inherited the tradition, but also constantly innovated cloisonne art, and he also shoulders the historical mission of inheritance and development. Over the years, he has trained a group of excellent cloisonne craftsmen, which has played a positive role in promoting the benign and sustainable development of cloisonne industry. In this exhibition, Master Zhang Tonglu exhibited his precious manuscripts and the unique secrets of cloisonne production technology in the form of protective exhibition for the first time. Under the witness of all walks of life, Zhang Xu, the direct inheritor, took over Zhang's unique enamel collection from his father and made a speech: this is not only a family inheritance, but also an industry inheritance; This is not only a heavy sense of responsibility, but also a glorious sense of mission. We will cherish it and try our best to complete this cause.
Wang Yongqing, Deputy Secretary-General of China Arts and Crafts Society and Vice President of China Traditional Arts and Crafts Research Association, said: Zhang Tonglu is a contemporary master of cloisonne, because only he has mastered all the technologies of the nine major processes and the 108 process. He is a low-key person and a high-profile person, and he is the representative of virtue and art among the masters I have contacted.
