🎧  Listen to Introduction

The art of "Heaven and Earth Jiuwu Hall Gourd Carving" is unevenly distributed and rare in Sichuan, my country, especially in southern Sichuan, where gourd carving art can be counted on one's fingers. "Heaven and Earth Jiuwu Hall Xie Yongyan Gourd Carving" is a unique gourd carving art that is both inherited and innovative and can best represent the folk style and local folk art characteristics of western Sichuan. "Heaven and Earth Jiuwu Hall Gourd Carving" has gone through vicissitudes and integrated the efforts of carving artists of all generations. It has been passed down to this day and has formed a complete set of creative skills, and its main material is gourd. The tools are also very simple. Skilled folk artists can directly use paint to draw patterns with just a draft in their minds; professional artists use a carving knife to make it on the gourd, which is called "carving". The gourd needs to go through steaming, boiling, baking, roasting, cooling and other processes, which is very particular. The inheritor Xie Yongyan created the folk art gourd carving by combining inherited techniques with modern art, which is made through drafting, carving, painting, inlaying, trimming and pasting. These works look natural and simple, unique and expressive, showing strong ethnic and regional customs. "Tian Di Jiu Wu Tang Gourd Carving" has created a unique gourd carving style in northwest Sichuan, China in the field of folk art across the country. The inheritor Xie Yongyan uses his "spiritual" carving to combine his genius artistic perception and creation to create beautiful and amazing gourd carving works. Entering the art of "Xie Yongyan Gourd Carving" is equivalent to entering the Mianyang folk culture hall. In particular, the works of "Gourd Carving Li Bai Series", "5.12 Disasters Prosper the Nation", and "Guanyin Series" have taken the lead in entering the market, bringing our northwest Sichuan folk mother culture into the homes of thousands of people and the world through the market. "Xie Yongyan Gourd Carving Art" is gradually losing its space for survival and development. The number of people inheriting this art is almost zero. It is on the verge of crisis and urgently needs protection.
