Features: The history of stone carving art in China is long and the techniques are exquisite, possessing high artistic, practical, and decorative value. Chinese folk stone carving has a profound origin, featuring unique national styles and regional characteristics. This book comprehensively introduces readers to the origins of Chinese stone carving art, the main varieties and schools of folk stone carving, allowing you to further understand China's folk stone carving art. The book is divided into three parts: relief carving, round carving, and bas-relief, collecting nearly 30 categories from over ten regions across the country, with over 200 exquisite images. I believe this book will provide significant help for readers to study, research, and learn from stone carving art.
The series "Chinese Folk Craftsmanship" includes each volume detailing not only the historical development but also exploring cultural connotations, production techniques, and materials. Each image is annotated with names, origins, dates, and sources, emphasizing both text and images, making it a "late-comer" in the field of folk art craft series. Today, series on gold, jade, ceramic furniture, bronze Buddha statues, ancient coins, and the like have attracted worldwide attention, while series covering history, literature, folklore, religion, and culture in folk art craftsmanship are relatively scarce. Moreover, with societal development, the preservation and destruction of these crafts urgently require rescue. The compilation of this series aims to inspire further contributions and may provide some assistance in this regard.
