Yangzhou bamboo carving art originated in the early Western Han Dynasty. According to research, the bamboo carving "Landscape and Ancient Cypress" unearthed from the Western Han Dynasty tomb in Yangmiao Town, Yangzhou is the earliest and best artwork carved by Yangzhou people found in China. Early bamboo carving in Yangzhou was mainly leather carving, and was deeply influenced by Pu Zhongqian, belonging to the freehand style. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, leather carving became more refined. After Xianfeng, Wu Rangzhi, a famous calligrapher, painter, and seal artist in Yangzhou, used a knife instead of a pen to participate in bamboo carving art. He melted a variety of artistic techniques such as epigraphy, calligraphy, and painting into bamboo carving, created new knives and new carving methods, and pioneered the specific shallow carving technique of Yangzhou bamboo carving. The method is like writing and painting on paper and silk, which is full of literati atmosphere. It is widely circulated in Jianghuai and gradually formed a bamboo carving art with Yangzhou local characteristics that is good at shallow carving. Bamboo carving techniques are divided into two types: carving and engraving. Carving includes skin carving and root carving; engraving includes shallow carving and deep carving. When carving bamboo, the brush is used in a rhythmic manner, with slow and fast speeds, and the intention follows the knife. It is completed in one carving, with deep and shallow, thick and thin, virtual and real, primary and secondary, and a unique interest in brush and ink. Yangzhou bamboo carvings cover a wide range of themes, with exquisite materials, ingenious ideas, and exquisite craftsmanship. A bamboo carving work fully demonstrates the author's talents in calligraphy, painting, and carving, and the artistic conception and connotation of the creation exude artistic charm. The works are appreciated by both the refined and the popular, showing the elegant and bookish spirit of seeing the big from the small, meticulous, and both form and spirit. Bamboo carving artists examine the cultural attributes and artistic characteristics of bamboo carving with a developmental perspective, explore the development path of bamboo carving itself, show the traditional Chinese aesthetic style and the life value of bamboo carving artworks, enter the lives of the masses, and explore the interest of life. Modern works have richer cultural content and more extensive themes, making Yangzhou bamboo carvings more artistically valuable.
