Yangzhou velvet flower, also known as palace flower and happy flower, is a folk art that is appreciated by both the elite and the masses. It has a long history and entered the palace as early as the Tang Dynasty. As an outstanding representative of southern velvet flowers for thousands of years, it has occupied half of China's flower industry. It is deeply rooted in the folk. Since ancient times, "Yangzhou people, regardless of their status, all wear flowers". The number of its products and the number of artists engaged in the industry are incomparable to other crafts. It is gorgeous and colorful, but gorgeous but not vulgar, graceful and moving, but beautiful but not delicate, and is regarded as the "little jade" among handicrafts. The development of Yangzhou velvet flower craft has gone through three important stages. The early velvet flower was to wrap the flower velvet on the paper with flower patterns, which was called "wrap velvet flower"; later it developed into a paper with flower velvet, scraped and made into various flower patterns, which was called "scrape velvet flower"; since the late Qing Dynasty, it has developed into a velvet blank, rolled into velvet strips, and then combined into various shapes of velvet products, which is called "roll velvet flower". Famous artists Wang Yiren and Wang Jikang, father and son, created new techniques such as hot velvet and light velvet, which raised the expressiveness of the velvet flower process and made Yangzhou velvet flowers more colorful and dazzling. Traditional velvet flowers were only used for hairpins and decorations, but modern Yangzhou velvet flowers have achieved three qualitative leaps. The "desk sketches" with birds and animals as the main content enriched and developed velvet flowers in color and shape, and were called "second-generation products"; using relief and semi-stereoscopic relief techniques, velvet flowers were designed into the picture and placed in the screen frame, becoming "velvet hanging screens", which improved the cultural taste of velvet flowers and were called "third-generation products"; drawing on the Yang style bonsai art, velvet flowers were inlaid in pots and bowls, becoming more elegant and pleasant, becoming high-end works of art, and were called "fourth-generation products". Yangzhou velvet flowers are elegant and delicate, vivid and colorful, and are a "charming art" that wins over complexity with simplicity, more with less, and greater with less.
