The cultivation and carving of daffodils in Zhangzhou have a history of more than 500 years since the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty. The daffodil carving technique mainly uses eight tools made of steel, such as carving knives, carving pieces, carving pliers, carving scissors, leaf trimmers, and carving needles. The daffodils carved by gardeners are lifelike and bizarre, and can be roughly divided into five categories: animal type, bird type, life type, figure type, and symbol type. After being carefully carved by the sculptor, its charm is even better than that of a fairy landing on the earth, with various poses and lifelike, which makes the world never tired of admiring it. Literati and poets of all dynasties call it "Lingbo Fairy". The purpose of daffodil carving is to dwarf, bend, orient, and shape the leaves and flowers of daffodils through knife carving or other means, and the roots grow vertically or horizontally, and the bulbs or side bulbs are maintained and fixed according to the requirements of the shape. The daffodil carving shape is mainly the carving of flowers and leaves, so that the flowers and leaves can achieve the purpose of artistic shape. It is mainly achieved through mechanical damage of carving, sunlight and water control, etc. When carving, one side or one side of the organ is injured. During the healing process, the growth rate of the injured side or one side slows down, and the uninjured side grows normally, that is, the growth rate is faster. In this way, the leaves or pedicels grow in a biased direction, that is, they bend toward the injured side or one side. Using the phototropism of plants to control the growth of daffodils is another means of shaping. The growth rate of cells facing the light side is slower than that of cells facing the backlight side, so the plant bends toward the sun. At the same time, the choice of the time for carving daffodils is also very important. Before carving, the time must be predicted, that is, after carving, it will be water-raised so that it can bloom at the predetermined time. After determining the date for viewing the flowers (New Year's Day, Spring Festival or festive day), choose the carving day according to the temperature, light and other conditions of the place where the daffodils are cultivated. From the day of carving, the process of water cultivation and shape adjustment to the opening of the first daffodil is called the "nurturing period"; from the opening of the first flower to the time when most of the flowers wither and lose their ornamental value is called the "viewing period"; under normal circumstances, the viewing period of daffodils is about 12 days, and the best viewing period is when 70% to 80% of the flowers are open, and the remaining buds are about to bloom. At this time, the fragrance of the flowers is strong, and the presence of flowers and buds gives people a sense of striving for progress and prosperity. The Zhangzhou daffodil carving technique confirms the wisdom of the ancestors. Its diverse shapes and rich techniques have certain craftsmanship value. Moreover, as a pillar economic industry in the daffodil producing area, it has important practical significance.
