【History of pyrograph】
Nanyang, called Wan, the Chinese historical and cultural city. Far as 5000 years ago, the ancestors created this ancient civilization. After that summer in the hinterland, the Southern soil, the country of Shen Lu. Spring and Autumn set Wan Yi, Wan has become the metal fabrication center, one of the country’s top five will. Qin Nanyang County. Due to Han Guangwu fortune the Nanyang become the provisional capital of Luoyang, the history of the “Southern” Recounting “reputation. History, Nanyang calendar for the legacy of the county town (county), “South, according to Jingxiang, North screen Yu Luo,” suppliers all over the world, rich crown at home “. Pyrography art generation development has laid a solid material foundation. Pyrography, also known as branded flowers, hot flowers, fire strokes, fire needle embroidery “, it is the use of carbide principle, temperature control techniques, and no pigment branded main sets of color, supplemented by performance practices in the bamboo, rice paper, silk and other materials lays baking hot painting cleverly and naturally the various manifestations of the art of painting and pyrography arts integration, to form their own artistic style.

Branded heat transfer
Pyrography legend, originated in the Qin Dynasty, but did not test the evidence and historical data. According to folklore records, first appeared in the Western Han Dynasty, dating back more than 2,000 years of history. Legend when the city of Nanyang surnamed Li the Clerical Pyrograph craftsmen, is the famed Pyrograph master, ruler, chopsticks, or canes, fans fall, after he branded a hot, all kinds of figures, flowers, landscapes, beasts, lifelike, vivid and colorful, exquisite, intricate, person branded Kao. He is honest, kind-hearted, a facade in the city, a hundred miles radius known, high visibility. Legend “Wang Mang thrust Xiu” (Nanyang folklore), Levin had saved Liu Xiu and sent to a branded flower gourd to give him money for the journey, Liu Sheng appreciated, after which after a lot of hard work, nor had baked bird to sell spend hoist. Xiu became the emperor in AD 25, still did not forget Brand Kao saving grace visits to his declared after Beijing, give thousands of two silver, sealed “pyrography King” and Nanyang branded flowers as a tribute for Queen’s palace. Since then, the Nanyang branded flowers will flourish, known in the world. The “Branded Kao story spread so far. Nanyang branded flower story of the origin of folklore, cite only one here.
According to chronicles records, Emperor Guangxu three years (AD 1877), specializes in painting Nanyang Zhao Xing three in an opium addiction after a sudden and devastating painting Hing, the smoke stick ghostwriter to red-hot on the tobacco stems Xinshou branded hot painting, a sketch, a pleasant surprise, and then again in the other wood play Shi Yi were successful, with painstaking research, over time, gradually grind set of pyrograph process. Pyrography works have gradually become a gift to share reciprocity between the nobles, as well as as the Nanyang tributes into the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the pyrography top grade popular Huangqinguoqi the favor. After Zhao Xing three received four disciples, the great disciple Li Fan’s can write will draw, proficient in a variety of colors, skilled, specializing in character; the two disciples Qiu Yiting good Bogut; the third disciple Yang Diankui specializing in birds and flowers; the four apprentice Zhang West where the independence collar landscape of the coquettish.
1920s, pyrography has formed a special handmade industry, pyrography products has also become the Nanyang quite well known folk art of renowned domestic. At that time, the city of Nanyang has monopoly pyrography shop six, seven, FANG Yutang “in Fuju constant Chopsticks Shop the most famous, Zhao Xing four disciples became Fuju constant” pillar. The Fuju constant “business is booming, Rijindoujin, the product is well known, are exported to Beijing, Xi’an, Tianjin, Kaifeng and other places. Early forties, a single Fuju constant “, the clerk artists has grown to more than 30 people to take shape.
After the liberation, the party and government attach great importance to the traditional folk art of mining, sorting and development work has set up a mutual aid groups, cooperatives, living dispersed throughout the Nanyang branded floral people organize themselves. Under the correct leadership of the party and the government, branded floral constantly inherited carry forward the previous tradition of excellence, innovation, improved technology and tools, pyrography art onto the broad road of development.
[Pyrography art new development]
Early pyrography works, mostly using a combination of performance practices of Chinese painting and folk painting after experiencing continuous exploration and practice on behalf of the artists, in a bold attempt on the absorption of Western painting technique of expression, to receive the desired effect. The posture production pyrography, tools, materials, techniques and pyrography content development.
A poker posture
Pyrography artist a suction opium posture side on the bed to get lamp heating branded hot processing this way is called “lying branded, this method can only poker some small pieces of arts and crafts, and difficult to master, to some extent limit the development of the art of pyrography. To the 1940s, branded pen carriage support the formation of a “sit branded” techniques, it has the advantages of flexible, easy to learn. For research and development pyrography art, breaks new ground.
Second, poker tools
, Pyrography artists and steel needles tools, baked baked painted on the lamp, mainly as decorative chopsticks, ruler, comb and other small items on the daily necessities. Later, the production process and tools to continuously reform by oil lamps branded “to” iron “, even” laser branded single branded pin or soldering iron to a large, medium and small models electrocautery pen, more state-of-the-art electrocautery pen can freely thermostat, with a special ability to write, so that the ancient creation with unprecedented performance capabilities.
Third, poker material
Previously been limited to the material of the wood, bark, gourds and other branded painted on the screen naturally occurring uneven texture changes, the relief effect, dark color, light brown and even black. Bold use of rice paper, silk material, thus enriching the pyrography art form. The early gourd, bamboo material is hard and thick, so poker is easier to control. Thin rice paper and silk, but without losing pyrography degree of carbide formed shades, shades, the actual situation of the changes. Temperature is too high, way too heavy, paper, silk zoom; temperature is too low and branded traces. Moreover, even artistic re-creation based on the contents of the screen, so that the rice paper pyrography a Nanyang pyrograph boutique.
Fourth, poker techniques
Branded painting techniques developed polish, hot carved, fine description and bake Halo, rendering. Pyrography works are generally dark, light brown, simple and elegant, clear and beautiful, its unique rugged texture changes with a certain relief effect, unique. Rendering, coloring, can produce more strong artistic appeal. In addition, there “chromatic Pyrograph” and “fill color branded flower” make the traditional Pyrograph Art icing on the cake. Therefore, depending on the creative theme, using different techniques, combined with colors to consider, or apply a light color, a fresh and elegant style; coloring or re-color, form a strong decorative effect.
V. manifestations
More diverse forms of performance, a few meters even tens of meters to less than one centimeter in diameter, prayer beads, large scroll, as well as a large hall mural, “painting”, “Grand View Garden tu”, “Great Wall”. The works can be adequately reflect the different kinds of painting style of landscape painting, meticulous, freehand, portraits, paintings, calligraphy, painting, abstract art, etc..
6, pyrograph theme
Content of the works constantly strive to inherit the traditional suit on the basis of rich, innovative, mostly classical novels, myths, auspicious patterns and landscapes, the design is fresh, elegant, never fade.
[Pyrography artistic achievements]
Not only inherits the traditional Chinese painting, and the development of Chinese painting.
Pyrography art of Chinese painting, essence, they are painting. Definition of painting, I think it should be two aspects to grasp: 1, intraoperative home artistic accomplishments, including awareness and the ability to express feelings. 2, the choice of tools, materials use.
Chinese painting is a traditional Chinese form of painting, its defined basically two painting on silk unearthed from the Warring States Period, Chu Tomb in Changsha, Hunan People dragon painting on silk “and” character Dragon painting on silk earliest. It was only after two thousand years of history, and gradually develop and mature. Development from portraits to landscapes, flowers and birds, pommel horse paintings, each having its own evolution, development process and characteristics of each genre painting. Pyrography is a folk art, its heritage is basically a pass through the form of pyrography master dictated apprentice, a family workshop-style art, about the origin of the art of pyrography, genre, style heritage Changes there is no clear historical records. However, from contemporary pyrograph art genre style features point of view, it is another manifestation of the Chinese painting.
Chinese painting or pyrography art, it needs artists with high artistic accomplishments, feelings and other cognitive skills, of course, said “the United States” from the level of painting. Such as the North Song Dynasty landscape painters and painting theorist Kuo Hsi, wrote in his “Lin Quan Gao Set 4:00 landscape scene change” Spring Hill Short MCC such as laughing, summer mountain green drops, bright and clean Akiyama, such as makeup, The Dongshan gloomy as sleeping, “still widely read by people. We look at contemporary pyrography works, there are some beautiful art works contain strong feelings, but most of the pyrography works without leaving the artist’s name, only the name of the work, such as wealth and good fortune, “Aromatic”, “bamboo peace “, some works is copying products or based on the creation of literary story, such as the” painting “,” Red 12 hairpin, “Grand View Garden” tu “,” Great Wall “,” mountains and rivers Miles map “. Pyrography themes are loved by the folk, user-friendly name. All people should be engaged in painting rigorous ongoing training research study, the expression of the skills of the laws of the United States. Pyrography artist Zhao Xing three already good at painting, he received four apprentice can write and draw, and have their own specialized. The great disciple Li Fan of chopsticks branded to spend “Beizitou”, “Seven Swords 13th Man”, on, under the Eight Immortals “,” Guanye pick robe, “West Wing characters so extremely vivid. So, pyrography art and the art of Chinese painting is the same strain.
2, Shi Yi tools, materials, the the pyrography art is the innovation and development of Chinese painting art.
Chinese painting tools, materials, brush, ink, rice paper or silk, as well as painting pigments. Country artist to master a variety of tools, material properties, a pen dipped in ink on rice paper or silk uppercut, plan, point, stained, cracked, rub a pen, at the same time control the light and shade of ink, light and heavy, priorities change, the work or beading or beading. Pyrography tools, materials the branded pen (or iron skewer, fire, pen), bamboo, rice paper or silk, and some also used in traditional Chinese painting pigment. The pyrography Artist to master a variety of tools, material properties, temperature control techniques, lays baking hot from bamboo, rice paper, silk and other materials. Comparing the two, we found that pyrography replaced with a branded pen Chinese painting brush, expanding the Shi Yi material from rice paper, silk bamboo, wood, gourds, shells and other materials. Branded pen special tools to make the material more widely applied arts.
Poker, on different materials to achieve different artistic effects. “Twelve Beauties” is Nanyang pyrograph the classic reflects the stories of people in the classic, “The Dream of Red Mansions”. Although the characters are the same, but in different materials on poker, there is a different flavor, bamboo poker “12 hairpin” a little something charming, a little more forthright; silk “12 hairpin” , reducing the pride, but add a lot of aristocratic charm; rice paper poker is the most difficult, but it can both between the former two. So, pyrography art and further enrich the development of Chinese painting.
Secondly, Nanyang pyrography art is the art of a widely appealing.
Pyrography art is a kind of folk art, it is rooted in the community and condensation of the working people of wisdom, its branded painted by knowledge of farmers can book will draw, so the pyrography both loved by the farmers, but also by the upper the community of all ages. The early liberation of Nanyang pyrography is branded flower chopsticks mainly developed, chopsticks is an essential tool for Asians eat. The wood Pyrograph chopsticks choice of holly medicine wood, fine texture, exquisite workmanship, the nature of cold, color white, with sesame oil immersion was ivory-yellow, fragrance, and contribute to health. Square head chopsticks surface, artisans branded with hand drawn picture, elegant and refined, available to enjoy, so they become collector’s love. Contemporary pyrograph development to silk, rice paper, the form is similar to the traditional Chinese painting works of art. Theme folk loved, because of the intervention of the fire pen tool to make the picture and add a simple and elegant bearing. From pyrography origin of the legend that it was the palace of the Royal supplies. Today, pyrography has become an elegant style of art appreciation gifts of products and international friends, loved much people around the world.
The Pyrography the basic techniques
Composition: pyrography established in its long-term evolution of the line with its own aesthetic requirements of the rules of composition, “five words” image of the general description of the word is left to push the right so that the composition, “A” word is top-heavy, “” The word is on the light under the weight, “” is a solid left-right virtual word “shall” virtual left and right real. All the rules, so that we have a more clear direction of thinking, learning pyrography composition.
Maneuver: pyrography is very particular about cloth potential, namely the so-called “distance, its potential, A closer look at its quality. Some pictures technically subtlety, but it looks like it messy, this is due to the grasp of the “potential” is not enough. Changshuo scattered coral branches, main branches and leaves constitute a trend, drooping branchlets alone constitute a small potential. More local image painting, the potential grasp more complex, more difficult to control, but it is even more important. The existing form of the potential can be divided into horizontal potential vertical potential song potential ramp potential, the potential sites, radiation potential.
Guest of honor: the composition of the screen should be the main Philippines, more not overwhelming need to create – composition center, so as to achieve the fullest performance of the main results. Commonly used methods are the top of the main body, the main center, the main ranking large.
Too many trade-offs: image material makes the screen complex hiccup instigate unnecessary, weaken the theme; too little and not enough to help topics. Trade-offs, how, how much homes, what to take, what to homes, according to the painting style and personality of the painter to pursue specific analysis, there is no hard and fast rules. The following combination of specific diagrammed, Liang Kai’s “the Taebaek Chant Figure. For composition in addition to the main characters do not have any other set off images of echoes or description, to strengthen Li Bai mind the world and the envy of the rich and powerful personality traits and culminates cents romantic feelings. At this time plus what seems redundant, the abstract blur processing and the word “Chant” turned a deaf ear, enough to the performance of the theme to be realized.
Density: Password cohesion, screen images and lines Depot; sparse and vice versa. The composition of the picture, arrangements should be painted various images and lines are infrequent. Resulting rhythm, flexible artistic effect. “Airtight, sparse Happy” and and Qing Deng Shiru very vividly describes the screen “sparse” and “dense”. Such as of Xu Beihong the “Tagore” People loose drapery lines, that the “sparse”; background be set off by dense foliage treatment, that the “secret”. “Sparse” improperly, makes the screen is cluttered, relaxation, there is no spirit; “secret” improperly, the screen will harden, dull, dull Zhizhong. Either point-dense, sparse surface; either surface dense, sparse point. Whether the former or the latter, it is crucial to courage and ability to “sparse” and “dense”. “Sparse” depends on the arrangement of the “secret”, “secret” depends on “sparse” set off, it should be stressed that the gap between the two, the formation of strong density contrast, so that the screen will be angry.
The actual situation: Void screen feeling of space, softer weakness, ethereal Rootlessness must the real complement the looking hard; too but in reality would cause the screen dignified obstruction, difficult breathing land, it is necessary to adjust the virtual buffer. Short of virtual concentration is real. Sparse virtual secret for real. The mover virtual static real. Light virtual real severe. Times were virtual, the main real. White virtual black real. Pan Tianshou said: “I painting in color to black and white bicolor, The paintings the black also draw at White also white that is also virtual, black or real also. Actual situation of the association, that the blank was there is also far imaginary nearly real. Less virtual and more real.
Closure: a painting tricks often “open and close” as a composition layout. The so-called opening and closing, also known as the “division”. “On” is the beginning, “together” that is the end of the mean. Open and cooperation on the screen the – contradictory system – the body, like a pen, the pen is open, pen collection together; does not open a picture, aggregate not. Such as Qi Baishi “squirrel grapes, from top to bottom the start of the grapes determines screen pen and trend. Place of the pen is opened; vines to the bottom slightly on the Yang, closing feeling, a squirrel more like the – the end of a period, to close the trend of the live screen, called together. – Painting throughout the global opening and closing, as well as a number of small open and close. Small opening and closing should be subordinated to point to the large opening and closing, and played the role of a rich picture. Open there should be close to potential, only opening and closing handled well, the picture that has integrity.
Blank: Blank is not here mean “no”, but the same form, lines, colors – like, constitute an integral part of special picture. Is the so-called “pen less than the Italian, meaning less than God. The traditional gourd pyrography almost left blank. Qing Deng Shiru said: “The pictures and sparse at cursory, the secret places of the ventilation, often to white to black, Trolltech is.” Qian Du “People Landscape” album, blank for water around the boat. The “blank” can only be Lenovo “water”, and unlikely to cause any other image of the association other than water. Gourd pyrography blank understanding is very rich. – Like the presence of several ways: To represent heaven, earth place. Tang Yin’s “Autumn Wan Shan Figure. Clouds and water, such as Fan Kuan Mountains and Streams. ” Dense. Original economic tour Huayang Mountain map, turquoise dense jungle of the left looming blank screen virtual and real, breathable Smart. Around the subject. Castiglione Songhe map as a picture of the main crane and the upper pine needles around left blank, to highlight the subject. Painted background. Such as “Taibai Chant Figure”. Formal beauty needs. Dong Qichang “Autumn Eight Views of consciously blank extrusion linear body constitutes a horizontal trend in vertical composition, pushed layers to form a the Cang goodly Yi lofty mood.
Contrast: on the screen almost all the constituent elements and contrast, they should pay attention to the size, length, distance, height, rigid, static and dynamic, light and dark, right and wrong change. Comparison of the performance of the composition: the density contrast, such as Ren Xiong Flower Atlas, large areas of mosaic living in the upper left corner, tries to dominate the screen, a “pull-out” bird density arrangement has caused. The actual situation contrast, Fan Hui Mountains and overlooking the Figure. ” Everything is comparative, such as Qi Baishi “loofah frog”, the top of the screen loofah vine leaves together, following frog bulk at open, so the screen configuration rich and full of change. Size comparison, such as Guo Xu Cattle flute map, a cow and a child, one large and one small, sharp image contrast. High and low contrast, such as Qi Baishi “fruit” of the third millennium, the two big Xiantao, one high and one low, patchwork. Xiantao flat screen loses rhythm. Color contrast, such as in the dark “Magnolia” is a milky white magnolia flowers on a dark blue background of the Pan-Purple, matched with two orange warblers, strong color contrast to make the picture bright and lively, full of vigor. Static and dynamic contrast, Liddy chicks to be fed map, two chicks are waiting for feeding a wait, a move the body turned away, slightly restless, combining static and dynamic and fun. Black and white contrast, such as Qi Baishi’s “Song Bird” thick pine stem is straight, small pine branches bending over, breaking the trunk straight, to make the picture vivid and natural. Image contrast, such as Li Fang Ying wind Bamboo, bamboo-point line, bamboo, stone face, point, line, combine to increase the diversity of the screen image.
Equilibrium in the balance: plastic arts, is to utilize the different components of shape, color, structure and shape on the screen to achieve the force balance, in order to achieve a dignified, rigorous, peaceful, perfect art. Picture obtained in a balanced way, such as: the use of the images of the property. Life body with inanimate body weight compared to the former, the latter light. In composition, you can use this property to get a balanced picture. Gao Jian Fu “bat fluttered in the Figure, the picture of the scene – all branches, Moon Shadow and painter inscriptions focused on the right, the upper left corner is just a bat, but the picture is still a balancing effect. The proportion of the use of color. The side of the screen when the rich ruby ​​color concentrate, to be echoed in the corresponding opposite direction. Such as Qi Baishi “Lotus Dragonfly, echoing the lower right corner of a little crushed red seal with the upper-left corner of the lotus. With the trend of the force. When the the screen main force movements tend to party, you can use the trend of the auxiliary forces pulled back, in order to achieve equilibrium. Movement and visual direction. Such as Xu Beihong’s “Horse”, in front of the horse to the left, Mercedes-Benz, due to the inertia of the direction of movement, visual need to leave some space in order to make the screen to keep the balance. Size of the object, and simplified. Zhang Daqian’s “bird” screen large and complex images are arranged on the left and the right side of the pressure scale is a bird and a few slices of red leaves, size, and simplified cause, the composition full of change .
Color: the use of color from the following aspects to consider: color harmony. Ren Yi “bird sound vine shadow map, and color pure and soft, subtle contrast. The color contrast. Cold, light and dark color, movement, and acting of the other. Generally speaking, cool static and convergence, warm and vice versa. Changshuo bamboo Narcissus “, the top is red bamboo flower, below is a large piece of green narcissus, a cold and a warm, gorgeous color screen, the movement has caused. Distribution of color. The colors have echoed. Changshuo “Flowers”, the lower right corner of two yellow blocks of color, rich and gaudy, the top of the narcissus flower core scatter echoed with faint yellow, the color of the screen structural stability. Main color and secondary colors. Such as Qi Baishi “Lotus Dragonfly map, ink color, care a little bonus, color layout cleanly. Ink. The color of the gourd pyrography by two elements: color, ink. An old saying: “sub-colored ink.” Li Fang Ying catfish map, Figure ink-oriented, shades of the actual situation, amusing, with a strong expressive force.
Background: Background on processing should pay attention to the following aspects: Select the material to meet the needs of theme ideas. The background is a supplement part of the subject matter, must contribute to the creation of a typical, typical environment, and extend the screen the contents of the theme of the most telling. The material selected properly, will undermine the ideological content of the theme. Background material usage refining, purification, not the more the better, not related to the subject material is moved to the screen. Layout to be reasonable. Background ships is disposed behind the main screen. Also extends to the specific use, the convergence of the selected scene with the main left and right, even intertwined penetration, then – given to pay attention to the primary and secondary relationship on the screen structure. Such as Qi Baishi the spring frogs miles “, tadpoles are small, but crowded lining of the surrounding environment has become very eye-catching. Note that the background and the main contrast between paintings on various factors, such as color contrast, black and white contrast, the strength of contrast, the actual situation contrast, Traditional and Simplified contrast. Attention to the background in the frame of non-subordination of the main, to set off the body for the purpose. Such as Xu Beihong “Sixi” background willows swaying in the wind shifted whisk well to bring out the magpie playful scene. Color set off. As the saying goes: “safflower have green leaves.” With the green leaves set off the beauty of the flowers was even more evident, Hongyan. Green leaves here, after all, safflower background contrast the main value and aesthetic. The background can be divided into two categories: one as background, one is like background. Called as background, is outside the body of the screen space by specific images. As background images can be human, animals and plants, can also be landscape, they together form an organic whole screen with the body. No like the background as the background is just the opposite, the screen outside of the space in the main image is no specific image or color coated, all black or white, or pen touch on other abstract effect as a foil. The above two methods can make flexible use in creative practice. In a piece of work and partly as background, with no sign background to set off the main image, the same can be achieved very good artistic effect. Such as of Pan Tianshou orchids map, set off orchids rocks, moss point, which is like background; rocks, orchids outside a large area of ​​the blank is like background.
Choice of materials: gourd pyrography created based on a variety of gourd. Generally overcast light-colored skin hoist better. Its white color, delicate gourd, texture is very noticeable. Suitable for branded a variety of themes. But in reality, would generally defective the hoist as pyrography hoist preferred to cover the blemishes on the gourd pyrography. Gourd pyrography effect is not the same, according to personal preferences, habits, and the theme of the need to select the branded landscape, bird and flower painting gourd quality in general is not strictly required, can be used in a variety of gourd. Branded of portraits or certain theme works is necessary to carefully selected appropriate hoist. Such as the performance of thick black skin color portraits, selectable slightly rough texture, calm tone gourd; performance of young women or children portrait choice of texture, color white gourd. Branded the sketch effect the painting, the selected hoist quality is higher, to the surface without scarring, consistent color gourd is superior.
Extension is issued: for gourd pyrography lovers do not have a certain foundation, the Billiton draft is the best way for them gourd pyrography papers, the selected pattern can be printed on paper, carbon glue stick to the back of the pattern, The tape made good Billiton draft glued to the gourd pyrography pen describe the pattern again, the selected pattern will be easily copied to hoist. The manuscript Extension to the hoist, it is best to use the old carbon. New carbon not only pollute the hoist, and left Shen color prints, gourd pyrography is more difficult to erase, it will affect the picture effect. New carbon use a soft paper to the color of the surface gently wipe, and then after exposure and then placed in the sun. Another method is: pencil sketches on newsprint evenly coated with lead powder, use it to replace the carbon ideal. Coated with charcoal pencil and brown carbon rods faster, coated with a soft paper and a soft cloth to gently wipe the toner firmly and evenly. Directly behind the manuscript coated with charcoal powder, but not painted too deep to avoid soiling hoist. Traces of carbon print, in branded finished painting very easy to go with the eraser.

Historical development

tiegongque
Origin
The production of iron painting originated in the Song Dynasty, popular in the Northern Song Dynasty. Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, Anhui Wuhu iron picture was self-contained, and gradually renowned the world.
The production of iron picture is very complicated, and very fine. Its materials are mostly lackluster iron, artisans hammer ghostwriter, iron knock out a rough shape, then crafted a hammer hammer iron trim and form, and then cut with scissors some modifications. The most sophisticated processes to the number of welding, the welding is different from the general welding, it is pure silver plus copper powder, little by spot welding, can not have any slack. It’s not finished, we still have to paint the hit made-shaped iron picture. Will be painted iron picture went through a sour water cleaning, rust, and then sprayed with black paint. When the paint is dry and then nailed to the white on the floor, an iron picture before they are made.
Iron picture originator
Iron picture originator Tang Tianchi, the name Peng Ming Jue, Lishui County, Jiangsu Province, local people, youth for Bibing shortage and living to the iron rule of the township – settle in Wuhu, Wuhu iron industry flourished, and because they concentrate a lot of skilled iron workers, so Minyan “the iron to Wuhu from Gang” in the world. Lease the soup beginner ironwork skills, Qing Emperor Kangxi, Qianlong Scholars Huang Yue’s great-grandfather of the street facade, self-iron industry workshop. Wuhu is both water and land transportation routes and material distribution center, near one of China’s four famous Buddhist Jiuhua Mountain, not only thousands of businessmen gathered in endless streams, during which many pilgrims, they are happy to share Wuhu Tiepu in production color and sale of iron squid, iron lantern, as the mountains with Jingfo. Tang Tianchi also made from the sale of these products. Then iron ornamental iron Lantern, transplant to first “rule of the thin and thread analysis, meaning flexion and extension”, and then the hammer calcined landscape, Takeishi defeat charge, Cui Liu cicada cicada. Guo cable embellishment position as Dan-home “, made of” landscape flowers, each extremely wonderful “unique artistic style iron picture.
Tang Tianchi made iron picture, landscapes, figures, flowers, birds, trees, iron hammer ghostwriter when the ink “hot calcined cold, rubbing iron from a complete picture of the half-relief, separate painting appreciation of the arts products. It is different from the single branch Tiehua. Because iron ornamental work just ulterior motives flower, instead of a picture; also different from the iron lantern on Tiehua that Tiehua, just attached to other artifacts decorative. Iron picture appeared immediately by the people’s attention and love, not only the locals buying the very people who, even outsiders also heard the name “far off the purchase of the”; favorite not only for ordinary people, “ho home smile Pour gold cheap, purchased for “play”, vegetarian Bi Ya Tang Tianchi iron picture are Mingzao the inter-lords “.
Tang Tianchi made in the early iron picture, many of the small diameter feet King and skills might not be mature artistic effect is not ideal, as more artistic, technical sharp iron picture more complex, especially the sharp iron landscape painting accommodate the large scene , is even more difficult to produce, and cherish landscape failed “,” Law no way to the heart of worries “soup the Tianchi very sense trouble. Just because of the soup Peng calcined stove and Xiao-foot wooden o “, and Xiao-foot wooden Wuhu, a painter, painting crude with works fine, ink simplicity net, see the spirit Shudan, his landscape painting unique style. Soup he wanted to ask for advice from Shaw, to help solve the “technical” and “Art” fusion method. So often to a Xiaojiayingzi see the painting, learn painting techniques and screen “operating position” art processing methods, so that references to iron picture made up. In addition to the “glimpse of the date of its pull ink potential”, when the see the exquisite, “taste decorated concept Shaw painting”, business also disregard. In addition, Tang Tianchi think Xiao-foot wood painting is very suitable fumed iron picture, they “Wang Yi Xiao feet wood, find the draft.
Painter Xiao-foot wood, see soup often to see the pictures, it feels studious and Yicheng teach, meet the requirements of the soup, “Xiao Jun hidden Germany, such as Shen Zhou, always focussed on poetry and entertainment Kiyonaga, soup made urgent please conuterelectrode requirements cracked as less pen forest thick. Hanshan temple should be late autumn, between Cui Liu Wei boat, look true to the stylus Qiu, fruit and Shaw painting and no other is not. This artistic iron painting is greatly improved. Capture due to the combination of master ironwork and artists, Artistic Mood, get rid of the “too like” unimaginative, iron picture to “Vivid” artistic effect. Therefore, people are soup “hammer cast of the clever, before this No iron rule of God work. This art scene anecdotes which have been handed down. Qing Emperor Qianlong lifts, Shijiang degree beam with soup Tianchi iron painting fighting spirit, emotionally said: “This technology can also be a metaphor to learn the research wearing Tiechu Wuru whetstone”. Reed descendants, but also for iron picture two songs with friends joined in the chorus.
Tang Tianchi iron made paintings handed down very little is currently known only “Four Seasons bird” (the Tibetan Palace Museum), the cursive couplet “eye curtain bamboo dew, rainy night long blue bud” (possession of Anhui Museum), Landscape Mountains and Yanai (possession of Zhenjiang City Museum).
Since the iron picture “Mingzao the lords”, “ho home smile pour gold cheap, soup fortune, however, put soup Tianchi” sexual decadent forced therefore, is not to promote. So he is still living in a poor folk ironwork. After the sometimes the Provisional late call it a day, it demonstrated to buy wine to get rid of the day’s hard work. Clear poet Wei Qian Heng not without sympathy to sing: “pity poor clever take days alone, Jiang Tian Higurashi the drinks empty. Even worse, toiling year to the end of the year took even the rent can not pay, had to go for iron picture arrived. Great-grandson of the owner of the house, Wuhu painter Huang Yue, “Tang Peng iron picture song, cited in the book noted:” the Peng word Tianchi, Yue local people, young Wen Tai Fu words in great detail, the beginning of the lease houses in the first great-grandfather, very poor. “So when Huang Yue see its collection of soup the Tianchi arrived for rent iron picture, can not help but generously sigh:” My family has a Estate Pro village Kui, the Tang long lease cord is not remuneration, Suizhong often in order to draw investment, light screen alone candlestick possession of closing. ” From these data, enough to clank ironwork qualities of soup Tianchi.
Tang Tianchi used to be a blacksmith, but he was not satisfied with the achievements made in the ironwork skills, and then pursue higher wrought iron. Restricted by various conditions, but the courage to overcome difficulties and to ask, study hard, and eventually became the generation of iron picture guru.
Iron painting artists
Chu Yan Qing, Anhui Tongcheng County the Zongyang town, was born in the Qing dynasty twenty-eight years – in 1902, the World of the iron industry, there are six brothers and sisters, he ranked fourth. Six years old when his father died, the uncle home to cattle. The age of twelve, the mother’s death, the Big Brother Big Sister have also died and five younger brother, sister went and told when raising daughters-in-law. His young life without, had led the young girl begging on the streets day. The neighbors are very sympathetic to the misfortune of his brothers and sisters, after the introduction of neighbors Westernization Movement, storage into Wang YJ and blacksmith shop as an apprentice. Apprentice expires in 1917, three years, was introduced to the Anqing a the surname Yang Tiepu helpers. 9167 the boss a the Tiepu Yang in Wuhu family and friends Yokichi years to the Wuhu West Garden Yang Tung Hing Tiepu journeyman in 1920. Due to the disagreement and leave. After living on the streets at night will be perched on the old Temple, associating with a group of beggars. The Chu Yan Qing from beggars chat folk legend that The of Wuhu Iron Works in the Qing Dynasty Tang Tianchi created the iron picture, also know the twists and turns after Tang Tianchi to improve the level of iron painting to the painter Xiao feet, wooden study painting. The story said the blacksmith, while he is also a blacksmith, it is of particular interest, particularly deep memory, iron picture, but have never seen a blacksmith to learn the idea of ​​painting.
Chu Yan Qing treasures handed down green bamboo hanging shade the second year, when he heard that opened in the Temple Pier Shen Yising Tiepu boss, nicknamed Shen fat will blacksmith painting, will be the central person thanks to Shen as a teacher, school blacksmith painting. Previous years blacksmith career, he quickly mastered the forging, energize and stack-shaped ironwork techniques. So, after a year of study hard, and he is able to wrought iron picture.
In April 1949, the Wuhu municipal policy based on the literature and art of the CPC Central Committee, explore the arts and crafts extensive investigation by the City handicraft department visit, had just learned that Chu Yan Qing blacksmith painting skills, but does not operate more than twenty years this industry , and is also the only surviving iron picture artists. Now has nearly 60 years, has also been out of practice skills, if not rescued, iron painting skills will be on the verge of death of people the arts must “danger. Wuhu municipal act decisively, the designated City handicraft Bureau grasping iron picture recovery. Chu Yan and the Bureau of Technical Division sent celebrate the formation of iron picture recovery group, storage emotion deep said: “I am a long pole ‘a’ word, understanding dissatisfaction bear the blacksmith, the party and the government think highly of me so I must take iron painting skills sacrificed to serve the people. ” After organizing equipment, the purchase of raw materials, to collect data, design drawings, select the apprentice, and assemble a small hospital in their own behind the house red furnace, set up a stake, with apprentice who after six months of trial forging a drawn White Snake “Broken meet” iron picture was born. Storage and apprentice who happily carried Phi Hung wounded iron picture the good news to the municipal. Wuhu municipal government leadership, the warm reception they express my sincere congratulations and encouraged again to improve skills, play more beautiful iron picture. Iron picture after a successful trial, the attention and support of the provincial leaders, and to appoint Anhui Normal University, Department of Art of Wang Shicen Song whistle Tiger two teachers to plant the help design drawings and workers in the iron painting art education, to improve the artistic quality of the iron picture. Storage and two teachers from morning till evening, talk about the fusion of Chinese painting and iron picture, talk about the performance of the iron painted artistic conception methods. When iron painting artwork designed forged teachers, two teachers are on the spot to explain the Red fireside painting should forged document intended artistic effect. Storage and apprentice therefore not only mastered the knowledge of painting and master Yi Hui and forging technology fused together in the skills, the skills to improve very significantly, growing friendship between them became close friends, this artist The ironwork cooperation, beat the Qing Dynasty Interfax soup Tianchi. Produced during this period “Guan Shan Snow Ji”, “Huangshan Lotus peak” and “Eagle Song”, “Butterflies and Flowers”, “Cowherd and laugh joy of” the iron painting, artistic level higher, to be selected and invited to participate in Budapest held the [ socialist countries plastic arts exhibition and held in Paris [World’s Fair] by the Chinese and foreign parties spoke highly of iron scrollwork reputation.
From 1957 to 1959, Chu Yan Qing continuous attended Anhui advanced handicraft producers representatives, national handicrafts old artist forum, the National Congress members. Crafts old artist forum, service personnel to the Chairman Zhu De Chu Yan Qing iron picture artists, Zhu Peng Chu hand clenched asked iron picture, Chu tells the story and liberation the Qing Dynasty Wuhu Tiegong, Tang Tianchi blacksmith painting after explore Wuhu recovery after iron picture. Zhu Peng hear Chu said with a smile: old storage, the poor are always aspiring Tang Tianchi is an aspiring soup Tianchi iron picture is really good, of course, very good, but as long as we work hard , we will be more than he can! “Soon the New Great Hall of the People in Beijing ordered a number of large iron painting interior, this task is to lead the storage apprentice went to Hefei model factory forged. Chairman Zhu De visited Anhui in 1960, once again met with Chu Yan Qing, hold on tightly to the reservoir hand and said: “Three years have gone, your soup the Tianchi blacksmith painting story, still remember in my mind you blacksmith painting how about the team? “listened storage reporting and then said:” old reservoir, ah, you see, we are old, undertakings have the time to consider the problem of the lack of successors iron painting process should make a train successors ah 1959, Chairman Mao Zedong visited Anhui Province Museum display iron picture, said: “very good” and “gallop” iron picture of the reservoir produced before the Provincial Party Secretary Zeng Xisheng photo. 1962, the years of his sixtieth Chu Yan Qing, iron painting is excellence. Also woodcut, paper cutting, gold and silver jewelry inlaid techniques, dissolve in your the iron picture production skills, forged encountered in artistic technique, often and painter Wang Dancen, Zhang Zhen-an, near Xuan Huang, yellow leaves village and the heap painting old artist Wu Si Choi-grass the the old artist Xie Whitewater explore. Best efforts to iron paintings artistic largest improve, but also experience unreservedly pass on to apprentice to. In 1964, Guo Fu Peng to plant visit, he carefully watched the iron picture wrought process, Liansheng Zan said: “is a creation, a creation!” And immediately wrote the play “to iron to create a beautiful picture, iron will create great Chinese inscription, spoke highly of the contribution of iron painting and iron painting artist. In the same year, Chu Yan Qing elected to the Third National People’s Congress, Beijing meeting, dining and state leaders at the same table, sitting next to China’s last emperor Pu Yi. Face of these circumstances, emotionally storage, a myriad of thoughts, I thought: “I am from a beggar to a poor blacksmith to have this highest honor, the kindness of the Party my timbers is difficult to repay the grace of the party. after return to the factory, it was said: “iron paintings achievement today, can not forget the old storage credit.” Afterwards he said with deep feeling: “Without the Communist Party, nor did I today Chu Yan Qing.”
“Cultural Revolution” began shortly iron picture is said to be the “seal, owned repair” black “. Iron crafts, painting smashed, arts and crafts information is destroyed, process plant is to motor vehicle plant, Chu Yan Qing first persecution after the transfer to go to the door, the other apprentice were forced to switch. Mining, after a lot of hard work to sort out the iron picture, so knife cut. Chu Yan Qing witnessed all of this, Anger into the illness, he was lying on his deathbed, always thinking about the fate of iron picture repeated to yourself: “iron picture is the party of hard work culture flowers.”

Paper horse, also known as “A Horse” or “A horse paper” to Yunnan Folk Art Research called “A horse paper, which is originally collected folk prints Baoshan, Tengchong, Dali and other parts of western Yunnan of the Folk call from Then followed ChengSu. But as far as I surveyed the other regions in Yunnan, such as Southern and central Yunnan, in northeastern Yunnan, and even nearly western Yunnan Chuxiong but had their own nickname, by contrast, generally referred to as “paper horses”.

Local customs
“A horse, paper horses, not mixed with that.” One of Chuxiong rural townships’ (shaman) do this, the author explained. According to the records of investigations, where popular paper horse of a set of six, by the Kitchen God, god, Tuzhu goalkeeper, Bridge of God, fire and water the gods, known as “horse Soulstealers”; referred to as “a horse” about; “Shun A horse and down a horse.”: picture painted in horse called “Shun A horse “, and its role is” welcome God “; horse after the person called” inverted A horse use, you must also Malay five Shun A truck in five directions; “inverted A horse is extremely powerful, dedicated to exorcism addition to haunting another “townships” and said: “A horse is dedicated to” Deception catch life “character” of the paper, the rest are referred to as “paper horses seen the paper horse A horse differ.
Suburban and rural areas will be printed in Kunming Yu called “a horse” closed doors paper, other each have their own title, “Heaven and Earth paper”, “Luna paper,” Fortuna paper, etc., collectively referred to .
The paper horse “or” highly profitable paper in the Red River area, the collar striped paper, a set of 36, which does not contain a printed paper “A horse” horse, and do not repeat. Other have their own titles, the such as “off San paper,” The Joy of God paper “and so on.
Dali some places before making such a profession “jargon” said the paper horse “paper horses plate board, rather than” A horse. Northeast Yunnan July 15 ancestors burned paper paper horse. << Water Margin >> the Huizhong 39 description bicyclist Daizong in feet tied “a horse”, used up the number of street joss paper burning sent, this is undoubtedly paper horses for the purposes of this spell specialized paper character. << Water Margin >> does not indicate such paper breaks collectively in the Song Dynasty. We see today where the book “A Horse” paper breaks, there must be the image of the horse, Yu faster mean. Familiar with the paper horse people know that paper horses in the application of highly targeted, burn to send a paper horse under what circumstances, there are certain rules. For example, you buy a paper horse, you say: I want to buy a paper horse. Sell ​​paper horse people will think you are an outsider. Q: To what? Mean is, if you want to please the God of Wealth, buy Fortuna paper. And so on, quite the right medicine taste!
“Dream sorghum recorded in the selling department store, one line of business is the” paper horses Shop Shop, which with described above Dali in some parts of the paper horses is the same strain.
Thus, the so-called “A horse is only paper horse group, has its special role of significance, called in local areas is not a substitute for the national title, Beijing, Shandong, Jiangsu, Hebei, mostly referred to as” paper horse. ” So, I think the Yunnan academia, this should also be unified call in order to avoid confusion on the name, not to mention all over Yunnan folk also correct to paper horse.
Yunnan paper horse is widely distributed, is still openly or secretly printed for sale, for the rural masses and the religious beliefs of some town residents required. I have the original the old tact Street and the suburbs of Kunming in Kunming Interview Survey part of the sale and the staff of the printed paper horses. General sale and printed paper horses are suburban farmers. Have the impression that in a conversation with the seller.
General rural young women (rarely get to know the use of paper horses for sale in the young man) opponents, is known, however do not know what the situation, they are engaged in the sale and purchase only as a sideline, older or old knowledge is slightly rich, she (he) be able to explain some of the content and purpose of, were able to go to the spell is a deep pass on their way witches, Kunming is called the end of the public “Mistress”, these people large number of Tibetan woodcut original printed paper money, paper horses, and they are proficient in both folk religion (superstition) for craft activities, such as paper cutting, paper models, figurines. The above object the vast majority of rural workers, as auxiliary means to make a living, there are individual living alone in some places as the main source of income to make a living. Buyers are to buy a certain kind of what they need, obviously religious belief in “superstition”. From these cases, we basically can be seen: and know how to paper horse is the meaning of those immersed in the faith of religion (superstition), depending on the kind of goods is closely related to the illness and death of themselves or family members. Paper horses exist in Yunnan and other provinces in the Mainland of paper horse are not the same, some articles in the paper horse shows, the vast majority of domestic paper horse, have become-old words.
Yunnan why still today are thriving to spread it? Probably with Yunnan buried environment occlusion of a long slow development, the process of certain ethnic history of the region lags far behind the majority of domestic sake relevant. Even after the “Four Olds” basic lifestyle and mental state of the people and at the end is fundamentally different from many recent rural areas had returned to traditional customs and beliefs. Yunnan has been called “sky high and the emperor is far away” said the old remote villages of “modernization”; little is known about; most fundamental reason is that some new ideology “God” authority to replace the old gods of all the ghosts. Of course, the another Wan surface, with the deepening of social reform, people’s values, outlook on life is playing changes, “paper horses” what has been very little understanding of modern rural youth; Once these old people go to History, Yunnan paper horses will mostly become ruins.
Yunnan paper horses dominated by Han Chinese, ethnic minorities, in addition to Dali Bai, Chuxiong Yi, not paper Mazuo Xin Yang medium. The Yunnan Han moved from the Mainland since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, at the same time has also brought the traditional economy and culture of the Han nationality, durable and stick to the force of the Han culture, the performance is very prominent in Yunnan Han; Since the Ming Dynasty, due to a huge influx of Han Chinese Yunnan, and people of all ethnic groups mixed, economy and culture of the Han widely disseminated, Yunnan old Ting Zhi Fu Zhi County fully reflects this. This article highlights only a few paragraphs to prove that in fact.
