Dongshan gold woodcarving production began in the 20th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1387) when the Guandi Temple was built. It was introduced by woodcarving craftsmen from Dapu County, Guangdong. At that time, gold woodcarving was not only widely used to decorate the beams, columns, brackets, shrines, screens and various Buddha and god statues in temples and pavilions, but also as carved decorations on incense tables, windows, doors, eaves, beds, cabinets, tables and chairs. It was used by folk teahouses, wine shops, luxury houses and wedding furniture and utensils. Dongshan gold woodcarving has fine craftsmanship, diverse varieties, a wide range of themes, and exquisite materials. It is made of camphor wood, nanmu, pure gold foil, Fujian lacquer and other high-quality authentic materials, and then painted in red, yellow, green, blue, black and other colors. Because the gold foil and woodcarving are cleverly combined, it can not only prevent corrosion and moisture, and will not crack or deform for a long time, but also highlight the solemn, gorgeous and elegant artistic effect, which has a high appreciation value. Dongshan gold and wood carving techniques include relief carving, hollow carving, through carving, three-dimensional carving, etc., which are finely carved and exquisite. Artists strive to seek novelty in shape, refinement in carving, and liveliness in characters, so as to integrate practicality, popularity and artistry. Dongshan gold and wood carvings are mainly used in three categories: architectural decoration, Buddha statues, and furniture. Nowadays, Dongshan's gold and wood carving varieties are constantly developing and innovating. Products include hanging screens, carved paintings, semi-relief Guan Gong hanging scrolls, Buddha statue round sculptures, antique gold and wood carving furniture, etc., and have developed from the original supporting decorative products to inlaid, seated, and hanging single hanging screens. They are used in the present and have become practical handicrafts for architecture, tourism, and family, art exhibits, etc., which are simple and elegant, beautiful and practical.
