"Zunyi Tongcao Pile Painting" is a national handicraft with local characteristics in Zunyi. Zunyi City is located in the north of Guizhou Province. It is an important town in western my country. It borders the provincial capital Guiyang in the south, Tongren District and Qiandongnan Autonomous Prefecture in the east, Sichuan Province in the west, and Chongqing in the north. Zunyi has a tradition of "reading poetry and books at home and knowing etiquette", with a deep cultural accumulation and a long history of folk craft activities. Mr. Zuo Jing, the creator of Zunyi Tongcao Pile Painting, studied painting under the famous painter Huang Binhong in his early years, graduated from Shanghai Art College, and settled in Zunyi during the Anti-Japanese War. In 1961, the Zunyi Arts and Crafts Factory brought back two Suzhou painted flat stickers from the Guizhou Arts and Crafts Conference and prepared to develop this product. Zuo Jing and his apprentice Hu Zuoshu successfully imitated and fully mastered the use characteristics of Tongcao under different temperature and humidity conditions in less than half a year. While putting small batches into production, Zuo Jing also innovated new products with shallow relief and high relief effects through thick and plain pile techniques. The good plant resources in Guizhou are the main guarantee for the local characteristics of "Zunyi Tongcao Duihua". Its main raw material "Paulownia" is a medicinal plant produced in the damp slopes of Xingyi and Wangmo in southwest Guizhou. The Duihua uses the stems of Paulownia to make Tong pieces. According to the creative theme, the shapes are processed and each part of the work is made separately. There are strict design requirements for coarseness, fineness, thickness, thinness, width, narrowness, roundness and curvature. If a colored pile is made, the Tong piece needs to be dyed, and the plain pile is to improve the texture of the product's ivory carving and jade carving through technical techniques. After the parts are made, they are assembled after multi-layer stacking according to the design graphics. In the process of production and development, Tongcao Duihua is combined with materials such as horns, feathers, trunks, and bark. These materials need to be specially treated before use to prevent mold, insects and corruption. Plain stacking is a unique handicraft for making Zunyi Tongcao Duihua. It fully utilizes the natural characteristics of the white, thick and rich texture of the tongcao. No color is applied, and only the finishing touches are made locally according to the needs of the work to achieve a noble and elegant artistic effect. Through multi-level stacking and stacking, the work has a three-dimensional effect of shallow relief or high relief. Through technical techniques, it produces a texture effect similar to jade carving and ivory carving. Zunyi tongcao pile painting has a wide range of subject matter, including flowers, birds, fish, insects, portraits, historical anecdotes and local historical and cultural content. In terms of frame width, in order to meet the needs of different characters and different scenes, pile paintings are produced in different sizes, ranging from small ones like books to large ones up to two square meters, which can be hung in large public places. Zunyi Tongcao pile painting breaks through the traditional pattern of flat pasting and color painting of Tongcao pile painting in Suzhou and other places in my country. It changes flat pasting to pile pasting, and changes color painting to plain pile. It creates a method of multi-layer thick pile without color. The picture adopts the brushwork of traditional Chinese painting, pays attention to leaving blank space, and gives people room for imagination. It has won the favor of the domestic arts and crafts community with its strong national art style and exquisite pile pasting skills. Now due to various reasons, this handicraft art is in an endangered state. Information source: Provincial Intangible Cultural Heritage Center (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.)
