The founder of Tiehua was Tang Peng, a native of Wuhu in the Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty. He is "not a steel worker, he is next door to the studio, and he was inspired to create iron paintings." Once the iron painting came out, it was not only "bought from afar", but also "famous". People in the scholar-bureaucrat class praised it as "holding the wall and elegant drama", and scholars even praised it and praised it with poetry. Zhu Wenzao, a epigraphist in the Qing Dynasty, made a vivid description in the poem Painting on Iron: "At first glance, like ink-splashed silk, the landscape figures are all empty. The wind moves the orchid bamboo beautifully, and the snow urges the old pole to loosen. Huaxuan makes people feel chilly and want to add clothes on a hot day. It is most suitable for birch candles and breezy nights, and thousands of pistils make jadeite rocks. I look at the old traces of Yuan and Ming Dynasties, but I feel gloomy and depressed. " He believes that the paintings of painters in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties were also eclipsed by iron paintings. Liang, a poet in Qing Dynasty, called iron painting "all wonderful" and "rare in the world". He wrote "Song of Iron Painting" and said, "Who told me that the magic is a finger twist, and Jiangnan grabs the pen? ..... This painting is easy to change, and this painting will last forever. " Today, iron paintings in Wuhu are all made of low carbon steel. Artists use hammers instead of pens, furnaces as inkstones, iron as ink, and drills as examples. According to the drawings, they take the materials and put them in the furnace. After forging, welding, drilling, shaping, rust-proof baking and other new technologies, it is lined with white background and framed into a picture.
