Cement sculpture is a traditional art project in the fourth batch of representative projects of municipal intangible cultural heritage. Cement sculpture is developed on the basis of ancient stone sculpture. It is an important part of Chinese folk art. Through the inheritance of skilled craftsmen from generation to generation, and the invention and creation of generations, this handicraft has made great progress and sublimation, becoming an indispensable art treasure for people to decorate their lives, beautify the environment, appreciate art, and inspire people to keep making progress. In ancient times, people used natural rocks to carve various birds and beasts to decorate their lives, such as stone lions, stone elephants, stone horses and other furnishings in front of the lobby of wealthy families and county government offices to show luxury and majesty. Then, gypsum powder is mixed into mud and sculpted into various small and exquisite animals for people to appreciate; sculpted into mythological figures, such as the Tathagata Buddha in temples, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Eighteen Arhats, etc., for people to worship, pray for children and blessings, and accumulate good deeds. With the changes of the times and the development of society, people's thoughts have been sublimated and life has new pursuits. Skilled craftsmen also invent and create in their daily life. They use different types of steel bars to form frames of various animal and human figures, and use steel mesh to fix them firmly to make models to be sculpted. Then they mix cement and stone sand into paste according to the proportion, and use a putty knife to apply it to the inside and outside of the frame model bit by bit and piece by piece. Before the cement solidifies, they use a scraper to carefully select and shape it. After it is formed, they use anti-alkali paint to glaze and color it to make it beautiful and durable. The whole operation does not rely on wooden molds, but is purely made by hand. This kind of cement sculpture can be made into various statues of different sizes and heights according to needs. The handicraft of cement sculpture came into being. It not only solves the problem of heavy rocks and difficult collection, but also solves the disadvantages of plaster products being fragile and unstable. It can be made of local materials and is easy to popularize. Cement sculptures can withstand rain and snow washing, are durable, and are deeply favored by people. Cement sculptures are rooted in the folks and popularized all over the country, giving people spiritual enjoyment. They are the brilliant crystallization of the hard work and persistent pursuit of cement sculpture craftsmen. (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.) (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.)
