The so-called "silk ridge" is a new art that perfectly combines meticulous Chinese painting with wood carving. While retaining the characteristics of China's meticulous painting, such as exquisiteness, exquisiteness and both form and spirit, the three-dimensional presentation of wooden carriers within 6 mm completely changed the limitations of two-dimensional display of Chinese paintings, thus achieving the pure beauty realm of "harmonious brushwork, moderate retraction and vivid expression" and producing a brand-new one. "Sandalwood Carving" is named after precious rosewood such as Huang Huali and rosewood. This concept not only enriches the forms of Chinese painting, but also injects new vitality into the traditional wood carving culture.
Siling ebony carving is a very exquisite carving. The cost of manual carving is three times that of ordinary carving, and it takes more time than other carving. It takes a week for a crane in Songling to be the first crane, which determines that its price must be higher than others.
In addition, the feather-like part of the silkworm sandalwood carving needs to be carved with one knife, so the sculptor's skills and carving tools are important factors affecting the effect and texture of the work. Good carving skills and professional carving tools can add vitality to the works.
It is reported that Siling Tan Carving is the "fifth famous carving" after Zhejiang Dongyang Wood Carving, Zhejiang Boxwood Carving, Chaozhou Golden Lacquer Wood Carving and Fujian Longan Wood Carving. It uses the commander technique and embroidery art, takes advantage of the characteristics of materials and the ups and downs of planning, and produces different texture effects and light and shadow layering through different knife methods, so that the details of furniture can be perfectly presented in three dimensions. It is used for animal hair carving.
