Egg carving skills project batch: Provincial 4th batch project protection unit: Qiqihar People's Art Museum Representative inheritor: Song Xiaoha Egg carving is a folk craft of carving on the eggshells of various birds. According to records, this folk craft originated from my country's ancient egg culture. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a saying: "Carve eggs and then sink them" (see "Guan Zi's Luxury"). Egg carving works are purely hand-carved on extremely fragile eggshells. If you are not careful, they will break. It is precisely because they are not easy to carve that they are more precious. Based on the summary of many years of egg carving techniques, the inheritor has created the sketch carving method and rendering carving method. The carving works are soft and delicate, with layers of rendering, especially the portraits of people, which can be comparable to photos.
