The value of Shanghai tooth carving
It has always been recognized as a high-end luxury. Relevant data show that as early as ancient times, our ancestors had made various simple ornaments with their horns to dress themselves up and beautify their lives. The ivory carving cups, ivory bird-shaped daggers and silkworm-patterned ivory carving rounders unearthed by China archaeologists at Hemudu Cultural Site in Yuyao, Zhejiang Province are the earliest tooth carvings we can see at present. Since then, with the continuous improvement of ancestors' understanding of real life and their unremitting pursuit of quality of life, the shape and use of tooth carving have changed from simple to complex, and the carved tooth horn works are not only exquisite, but also have a wide range of themes and a fairly high level of craftsmanship. In the Tang Dynasty, tooth carving became more and more exquisite and perfect, showing its own unique artistic style and new carving techniques. Among them, the trowel was first created in the Tang Dynasty. Japan's Masakura Academy still treasures the "red-toothed cymbals", "green-toothed cymbals" and "red-toothed cymbals" of the Tang Dynasty. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the skill of tooth carving was superb, especially during the Qianlong period, a large number of skilled craftsmen and carving masters emerged, and local schools of tooth carving in Suzhou, Beijing, Guangdong and Shanghai also formed. Suzhou tooth carving is elegant and mellow, with a large number of small pieces of stationery and a wide range of subjects. Known as "Suzhou-style, Cantonese-style craftsman". The tooth carvings in Beijing are exquisite and vivid, made by the Palace "Ruyi Pavilion", and there are also professional workshops among the people. Guangdong tooth carving is exquisite. They come from southern Yunnan and western Guangdong, and have also been professionally processed. They make combs, hairpins, rings, fans and Wan Wen. While absorbing foreign cultures, we are also constantly innovating in skills. Their works have both Chinese cultural connotations and western cultural styles, and they are famous all over the country for their "meticulous work and spread to the boudoir".
