Root art is root carving art, which uses tree roots as materials and is made into works of art through carving. It has the ingenuity of turning waste into treasure and decay into magic, forming a unique charm of natural beauty and artistic beauty. It is a wonder in folk arts and crafts. Yangchun has high mountains and lush forests, crisscrossing rivers and streams, and rich resources. There are dozens of species of materials available for creation, such as longan, lychee, pineapple, etc. There are also floating firewood in the mountain pond reservoir, thousands of years of sediment buried in the riverbed and underground; stumps and dead roots and rotten wood on both sides of the industrial development zone and new highways. This is the material basis for the Yangchun root art cultural undertaking and the creation of root art works. There are many kinds of Yangchun root art works. In order to facilitate appreciation, evaluation, production, sales and collection, they can be classified according to their functions: 1. Root books Root books are different from general calligraphy. General calligraphy can be written in one go. Whether it is good or bad depends entirely on the subjective will and writing level of the person. Root calligraphy is different. A root calligraphy with good connotations often has Chinese characters with complex fonts and many strokes. This kind of root is particularly difficult to find and distinguish. The creator must have a high level of cultural accomplishment, unique aesthetic orientation, and rich artistic imagination to be able to "imagine and get it". On the given root shape, finding the special trajectory and charm of calligraphy, and making a three-dimensional and vivid root calligraphy masterpiece, there will be artistic effects and charm that are beyond human control. 2.
