There are many dragon-themed collections in Conghua folk, which are scattered in ceramics, jade plaques, stone carvings, and Chinese paintings. Continuing the "Dragon" series of reports in the Year of the Dragon, this time, we walked into the home of the folk collector Su Bo to see his collection of dragon-themed Shoushan lychee frozen stone carvings.
Take-off
This Shoushan lychee frozen stone art sculpture is called "Takeoff".
יהוה1.2 יהוה,
It is Hunan Province Arts and Crafts Master You Jiehui
Engraved in 2004.
The base of this stone carving is taken from the cuckoo, and the top of the stone carving is carved with a water-spitting dragon, which is mighty and domineering. The dragon is also surrounded by 55 small dragons of various shapes, which can be admired from different angles. These 56 dragons represent the 56 ethnic groups of the Chinese nation and symbolize the unity, friendship and harmonious coexistence of the national family. The flying dragon is vigorous, full of spirit, and very tense, vividly interpreting the spirit of "dragon walking". The art carving is carved from the moist and colorful Shoushan lychee frozen stone, and the carving is exquisite and delicate, showing the unique charm of Chinese folk crafts. Xu Xu, a famous poet and expert in literature and history, once wrote the title of "Take-off": 5,000 years of history can be seen in the morning and Yudian has always been a family, and 56 dragons have gone outside the sky to soar into the sky and revitalize China.
Su Bo, who was in the year of the Stick Dynasty, had settled in Conghua for more than 20 years. Su Bo is a collector and has a rich collection of porcelain, stone carving, wood carving, silk painting and so on. This year coincides with the Year of the Dragon, and this large-scale dragon-themed Shoushan stone sculpture in Suber's collection is just in line with the theme of the Year of the Dragon and is worth appreciating.
