The birthplace of Huizhou root carving is in Huangshan City. It has a long history and unique shapes, and is deeply loved by people. Huangshan City is located in the northern subtropics and has a humid monsoon climate with mild and rainy seasons. It is suitable for the growth of a variety of trees, and the rich forest resources provide the basis for the creation of Huizhou root carving art. The Ming and Qing Dynasties were the mature period of the development of Huizhou root carving skills. The artistic characteristics of Huizhou root carving during this period are: clever use of nature throughout the creation. Such as branches, whiskers, holes, knots, scars, textures, colors, postures, etc., try to make these natural characteristics and charms reasonably utilized and fully reflected in the determined artistic images. And use the art according to the material, carry out a series of refined processing such as selection, carving, grinding, etc., so as to make clever use of nature and use beauty, so that the "strange" of natural beauty and the "cleverness" of artificial beauty are naturally combined to realize the original creative idea. The artistic style of the whole work is seamlessly integrated, unconventional in artistic conception, simple and bright in shape, vivid in meaning, and focuses on the combination of natural beauty and artistic beauty, thus achieving an artistic effect of peculiar conception and supernatural craftsmanship. During the Republic of China period, the production and manufacture of root art gradually declined, and many artists changed their careers or switched jobs, and the root carving technique was on the verge of extinction. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially in the late 1970s, root art revived and flourished throughout the country. Huangshan City once experienced a "root art fever", and a group of experts and masters engaged in root art creation emerged, and the Huangshan City Arts and Crafts Association, an academic group for root art research and creation, was established accordingly. The Huizhou root carving technique has been passed down. Huizhou root carving, this wonderful flower of art, is attracting more and more audiences with its unique artistic charm, and cultivating more and more admirers and collectors.
