There are cutting for window, door, wall, and those for roof and light as well as for marriage and different festivals. Many of them are used during the New Year and marriage to add up the happy and auspiciousatmosphere.As to the Patterns, it has a distinctive usage.

The earliest piece of Xiang embroidery was unearthed at the No 1 Tomb of Mawangdui, Changsha City of the Han Dynasty (206BC-AD220). The weaving technique was almost the same as the one used in modern times, which demonstrated that embroidery had already existed in the Han Dynasty. In its later development, Xiang Embroidery absorbed the characteristics of traditional Chinesepaintings and formed its own unique characteristics. Xiang embroidery experienced its heyday at the end of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and in the early Republic of China (early 20th century), even surpassing Su embroidery. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xiang embroidery was further improved and developed to a new level.Xiang embroidery uses pure silk, hard satin, soft satin and nylon as its material, which is connected with colorful silk threads.

And so, Yue embroidery became famous around the country. The prosperous Guangzhou Port of the Song Dynasty promoted the development of Yue embroidery, which began to be exported at that time. During the Qing Dynasty, people animal hair as the raw material for Yue embroidery, which made the works more vivid. During Qianlong's reign (1736-1796) of the Qing, an industrial organization was established in Guangzhou. At that time, a large number of craftsmen devoted themselves to the craft, inciting further improvements to the weaving technique.

中国传统手工艺品的英语制作流程
中国传统手工艺品的英语制作流程Traditional Chinese handicrafts have a long and rich history dating back thousands of years. From intricate silk embroidery to delicate porcelain vases, these handmade artworks showcase the incredible skill and creativity of Chinese artisans. The manufacturing process for these traditional crafts often involves meticulous techniques passed down through generations. In this essay we will explore the step-by-step English production flow for several iconic Chinese handicraftsOne of the most renowned traditional Chinese handicrafts is silk embroidery. The process begins with the cultivation of silkworms. Silkworms feed exclusively on mulberry leaves and spin cocoons of raw silk thread. These cocoons are then boiled to extract the long continuous silk filaments. Master silk weavers will carefully unravel the cocoons and spin the filaments into fine silk thread.The embroidery process starts with the selection of a high-quality silk fabric base. Skilled embroiderers will sketch the desired design onto the fabric using a water-soluble ink. They then meticulously stitch the intricate pattern using colored silk threads. Traditionalembroidery techniques involve a variety of stitches such as satin stitch, stem stitch, and split stitch. The embroiderer must have excellent control and precision to create the delicate designs. Depending on the complexity, a single silk embroidery piece can take months or even years to complete.Another celebrated Chinese handicraft is porcelain pottery. The production of fine porcelain begins with the mining and processing of the key raw materials - kaolin clay, feldspar, and quartz. These minerals are carefully selected, ground into a fine powder, and mixed with water to form a workable clay paste. Skilled potters will then use a pottery wheel to hand-shape the clay into the desired forms - vases, bowls, plates, and more. After the initial shaping, the pieces are left to dry completely.The dried pottery is then fired in a high-temperature kiln, which fuses the clay particles together. This first firing produces the unglazed "bisque" ware. The pieces are then carefully inspected and any flaws are repaired. Next, the potters apply a transparent glaze coating to the bisque ware. This glaze will melt and fuse to the clay body during the final high-heat firing, creating the smooth, glossy porcelain surface. The firing process is absolutely critical - too little heat and the glaze will not properly adhere, while too much heat can cause the porcelain to warp or crack.After the final firing, the porcelain pieces undergo a thorough quality check. Any defective items are discarded, while the perfect porcelain wares are carefully packed and prepared for sale. The entire porcelain production process from raw materials to finished product can take several weeks to several months depending on the complexity of the design.A third renowned Chinese handicraft is cloisonné enamelware. Cloisonné involves decorating metalware, typically copper, with vitreous enamel. The process begins by shaping the copper into the desired form - vases, bowls, plates, etc. Thin strips of copper wire are then carefully bent and soldered onto the surface to create compartments or cloisons. These cloisons will contain the different colored enamel powders.The enamel powders, made from ground glass and mineral pigments, are carefully placed into the copper cloisons. The piece is then fired in a kiln to melt and fuse the enamel. This firing process is repeated multiple times to build up the enamel layers and create the desired colors and patterns. After the final firing, the surface is ground and polished to a smooth, glossy finish.The cloisonné artisan must have exceptional skill and patience to meticulously shape the copper wire, evenly apply the enamel, and perfectly execute the multi-firing process. Even a simple cloisonnévase can take weeks or months to complete from start to finish. The end result is a stunning metalware piece with intricate, jewel-toned enamel designs.These are just a few examples of the incredible traditional handicrafts found in China. Each craft has its own specialized techniques and requires years of training and practice to master. From the delicate silk threads of embroidery to the vibrant enamel of cloisonné, these handmade artworks showcase the unparalleled creativity and skill of Chinese artisans.The manufacturing process for these handicrafts is truly awe-inspiring. It involves sourcing and preparing the raw materials, meticulously shaping and decorating the pieces by hand, and carefully firing them in high-heat kilns. Every step of the process demands the utmost care and precision from the artisans. The final products are truly one-of-a-kind works of art that preserve the rich cultural heritage of China.As globalization continues to accelerate, there is a growing appreciation and demand for these authentic traditional handicrafts worldwide. Many Chinese artisans are working to modernize their techniques and designs to appeal to international markets while still maintaining the integrity of their crafts. Through their dedication andskill, the legacy of China's remarkable handmade artworks will continue to be passed down for generations to come.。

介绍中国传统的手艺艺术英语作文
介绍中国传统的手艺艺术英语作文Traditional Chinese HandicraftsHave you ever wondered how beautiful things like silk robes, porcelain vases, or jade carvings are made? These are just a few examples of the amazing handicrafts that skilled artisans in China have been creating for centuries using special techniques passed down through many generations. Let me tell you about some of the most famous traditional Chinese handicrafts!Silk ProductionOne of the most renowned Chinese handicrafts issilk-making. Did you know the secret of silk was kept hidden from the rest of the world for thousands of years? In ancient China, only specially trained people were allowed to work with silkworms and weave silk thread into luxurious fabrics.The process all starts with the tiny silkworm. These little caterpillar-like creatures munch on fresh mulberry leaves day and night. Eventually, they spin cocoons around themselves made of a single strand of silk that can be over a mile long! After the cocoons are gently heated, the silk strands can be carefully unwound and woven into gorgeous silk cloth.For thousands of years, the finest silk robes, clothing, and tapestries were reserved only for the imperial family and highest nobles. Silk was considered so valuable that it was nicknamed "golden threads." Today, silk is still prized for making beautiful clothes, ties, scarves, and other accessories.PorcelainAnother iconic Chinese handicraft is porcelain, a special variety of ceramic earthenware. The secrets of porcelain were developed and kept hidden in China for over 1,000 years before spreading to other parts of the world.Creating true porcelain is an amazing process that requires great skill. First, very specific types of clay, minerals, and rocks are gathered and made into a fine powder. After shaping on a pottery wheel or mold, the "green" porcelain is allowed to dry before being fired in a scorching hot kiln.The key to porcelain's beauty is its last firing at over 2,500°F, which makes it harden into a translucent, vitrified material. This gives porcelain its distinctive non-porous, glassy texture. The finest Chinese porcelain almost seems to glow from within!For centuries, the Chinese were masters at this exacting process, closely guarding the porcelain recipes and methods.They created breathtaking vases, plates, cups, figurines and more in classic blue and white glazes as well as vibrant colors like the famous "sacrificial red." Even today, the skills of China's porcelain artisans are unmatched in capturing such delicate beauty in clay.Jade CarvingThe art of jade carving is another quintessential Chinese handicraft that goes back over 7,000 years. Jade is a remarkable semi-precious gemstone that is extremely dense and difficult to carve, yet has been mastered by gifted Chinese artisans for millennia.The jade most prized by Chinese craftspeople comes from the remote Kunlun Mountains and river beds of Xinjiang province in western China. This "stone of heaven" can take the form of green, white, or even lavender and pink hues when polished.Using special tools and techniques passed along through ancient guilds, jade carvers gradually grind, cut, drill and polish the valuable jade into intricately detailed works of art. Jade can be transformed into jewelry, sculptures, vases, cups, and ornaments of astonishing realism and three-dimensional depth.Some of the most famous jade pieces are portraits or statues of Buddhist or Taoist deities and mythical creatures like the revered Chinese dragon. To create such lifelike detail from the super-tough jade gemstone is a remarkable example of human artistry and perseverance.EmbroideryEmbroidery is another cherished traditional handicraft of China with origins dating back over 2,000 years. Like jade carving and porcelain-making, this exacting art form was perfected over centuries as mothers trained their daughters in the painstaking needlework techniques.The most iconic Chinese embroidery style is thedouble-sided Suzhou embroidery from the region surrounding the city of Suzhou near Shanghai. Worked in split stitch on a rectangular frame, the design looks virtually identical on both sides of the fine silk cloth. Tiny stitches just millimeters long are used to create the smoothest texture with no knots or bumps.Suzhou embroidery is famous for its perfectly realistic depictions of human figures, flowers, birds, and landscapes – all created using just silk thread. With over 1,000 individual stitches required per square inch, even a small embroidered scene can take months or years of meticulous labor to complete. It's nowonder this traditional craft was once reserved only for the imperial court.Other CraftsWhile silk, porcelain, jade, and embroidery may be among China's most renowned traditional handicrafts, these are just the start of the country's amazing artistry. Other cherished Chinese crafts include intricate wood and bamboo carving, delicate kites, cloisonné enameling, lacquerware, paper-cutting, and even incredible feats of micro-sculpting on grains of rice, peach pits or mustard seeds!The techniques and styles for these handicrafts were perfected over thousands of years, passed down through generations of dedicated apprentices and masters. Each region and even village had its own specialty and claim to fame.Even with modern factories, cherished Chinese handicrafts are still painstakingly created by hand in many areas. These artifacts are not only beautiful works of art, but reminders of the skill, patience, and reverence for ancient traditions that have long been part of Chinese culture.Carrying On TraditionToday, schools and cultural centers in China and around the world are working hard to keep these amazing handicraft traditions alive by training new artisans and celebrating the masters. Hopefully, these precious traditional Chinese crafts will continue to be preserved and admired for their breathtaking skill and artistry for generations to come.。

The implication of paper cutting
People find hope and comfort in expressing wishes with paper cuttings. For example: for a wedding ceremony, red paper cuttings are a traditional and required decoration on the tea set, the dressing table glass, and on other furniture. A big red paper character 'Xi' (happiness) is a traditional must on the newlywed's door. Upon the birthday party of a senior, the character 'Shou' represents longevity and will add delight to the whole celebration; while a pattern of plump children cuddling fish signifies that every year they will be abundant in wealth.
Originating among the folk people in the west of Sichuan Province, Shu embroidery formed its own unique characteristics: smooth, bright, neat.
Influenced by the geographical environment, customs and cultures. The works incorporated flowers, leaves, animals, mountains, rivers and human figures as their themes.

Definition: # The treasure of Chinese culture and art
# Famous for its long history, exquisite skill and various categories all over the world # One of the symbols of major characteristic industry of the Chinese nation # The daily living goods
# Xiang embroidery is well known for its time-honored history, excellent craftsmanship and unique style.
The earliest piece of Xiang embroidery was unearthed at the No 1 Tomb of Mawangdui, Changsha City of the Han Dynasty (206BC-AD220). The weaving technique was almost the same as the one used in modern times, which demonstrated that embroidery had already existed in the Han Dynasty.
In its later development, Xiang Embroidery absorbed the characteristics of traditional Chinese paintings and formed its own unique characteristics.
Xiang embroidery experienced its heyday at the end of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and in the early Republic of China (early 20th century), even surpassing Su embroidery.
13.2.3 Yue Embroidery
Also called Guang embroidery, Yue embroidery is a general name for embroidery products of the regions of Guangzhou, Shantou, Zhongshan, Fanyu and Shunde in Guangdong Province.
# Flexibility is required but any hesitation or wiggling will lead to imprecision or damage the whole image. Engravers stress the cutting lines in several styles. They attempt to carve a circle like the moon, a straight line like a stem of wheat, a square like a brick, and jaggedly like the beard.
Shu embroidery experienced its peak development in the Song Dynasty (960-1279), ranking first in both production and excellence.
In the mid-Qing Dynasty, the Shu embroidery industry was formed.
Xiang embroidery uses pure silk, hard satin, soft satin and nylon as its material, which is connected with colorful silk threads. Absorbing the spirit of Chinese paintings, the embroidery reaches a high artistic level. Xiang embroidery crafts include valuable works of art, as well as materials for daily use.
According to historical records, in the first year of Yongyuan's reign (805) during the Tang Dynasty (618-907), a girl named Lu Meiniang embroidered the seventh volume of the Fahua Buddhist Scripture on a piece of thin silk 30 cm long. And so, Yue embroidery became famous around the country.
# Birthplace: West-fu (西府宝鸡 ) # Time of origin: the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States Period # Material: paper, leaves, bark, cloth, silver foil # Creator: Wang Xiangyu, etc. # Main techniques: cutting, cutting, tearing # Main performance: the window, door, wall, ceiling, light flower
Characteristics of paper cutting
# Although other art forms, like painting, can also show similar scenes, paper cutting still stands out for its charm - exacting lines and ingenious patterns which are all hand-made.
# To make the three-dimensional scenes pop out visually from the paper, as they are usually in monochrome, engravers must exert their imagination. They must delete secondary parts and compose the main body properly, abstractly and boldly. Though simple, the color then appears charmingly bright.
