Liyang has had the embryonic stage of kiln-fired brick making since the Song Dynasty, and it has evolved to maturity through the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. During the Republic of China period, Liyang kiln-fired brick making was integrated with the Ming-style gold brick making skills of Suzhou Xiangshan Gang craftsmen, belonging to the Su-style Ming style, and has evolved and developed into regional characteristics through local evolution, which is called Liyang Ming-style brick making. Liyang Ming-style brick making skills are mainly divided into two parts: kiln making and sculpture. Its bricks are either carefully molded or exquisitely carved, and their uses are either to line the plaster or to inlay pictures. They are often seen in the decoration of buildings such as houses, gatehouses, halls, screen walls, temples, stages, and gables. There are hundreds of types of overall and single works. The bricks processed by various techniques such as openwork, relief and line engraving are beautiful and fresh, with obvious layers, detailed and vivid, lifelike, and have a strong style and characteristics of Jiangnan folk houses. They have not only become an important medium for showing wealth, sustenance of blessings, and teaching through beauty, but also carry a deep cultural memory. For hundreds of years, the Ming-style brickwork technique in Liyang was born and preserved among the people, and has become a shining pearl in architectural culture. Its products are beautiful and solid, smooth like a mirror, and make a metallic clanging sound when knocked. They are also smooth, wear-resistant, and brighter the more they are rubbed. They can prevent moisture from seeping up or down, and can also make the building decoration magnificent, with extensive and profound architectural practical value. Its works are presented in a variety of themes and contents, and in a variety of techniques. The processing of various techniques such as openwork, relief and line engraving makes the style of the works beautiful and fresh, with obvious layers, detailed and vivid, lifelike, giving people a natural situation and life beauty that is meant to be in the painting and endless aftertaste. Its skills have undergone a long process of formation, evolution, development and development. It is a historical witness of the profound folk culture and a matrix of inheritance that continues the millennium culture. The pursuit of life and artistic creation entrusted by it have accumulated rich cultural connotations of architecture, decoration and fine arts, and continued the long history of folk architectural culture. Inheritors represented by Sun Renyuan and Jiang Xiaohui from Liyang have been working hard to continue the Ming-style brick craftsmanship in Liyang. Jiang Xiaohui founded the Classical Garden Building Materials Factory in Maojia Village, Shangxing Town, Liyang in 2009, and founded Changzhou Yaozun Classical Craft Brick Co., Ltd. in 2016. During this period, a large number of Ming-style brick products were provided for the renovation of the palace where Empress Dowager Cixi lived in the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Great Wall, Nanjing Zhonghua Gate, Nanjing Confucius Temple, Changzhou Qingguo Lane, as well as the former residences of Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, and the antique buildings of Nantong Film and Television City, allowing the Ming-style brick craftsmanship in Liyang to survive and develop in its own "blood-making" function.
