Extended data:
1, Chenjiaci stone carving
Whether it is abutment, dado, column foundation, cornice column, ticket gate, railing, sling, steps, or even high moon beam and sparrow terrace, all the building parts that are easily eroded by sunlight and wind and rain are made of granite, which is especially suitable for the climate in the south.
2. Chenjiaci Brick Carving
There are many brick carvings embedded in the eaves, corridors and gables of the buildings outside the Chenjiaci.
Brick carving uses high-quality blue bricks as materials, and uses techniques such as round carving, high relief, land reduction and hollowing out to create regular, smooth and silky deep lines, with delicate knife work and meticulous description. Small brick carvings are generally two or three layers thick, and large brick carvings are as many as five or six layers.
