Material
Huang Yang's rhythm, shocking display
In terms of wood carvings that represent female figures, the gentle and delicate boxwood is undoubtedly one of the most suitable materials. The smooth wood, delicate texture and solemn color of the material are very suitable for the expression of the delicate and smooth skin texture of young women, giving the female image a unique softness. In addition, the light wood presents the lustrous texture and lightness of silk, expressing the "anti-gravity" flying state of the ribbon and realizing the discovery and presentation of the beauty of the material.

The characters had both form and spirit, and the structure was virtual and real. With a realistic approach, it explains the beauty of the human body and brings a full and vivid visual effect. The perspective, level, depth, handover, and ups and downs of the work are vivid and vivid, showing the sculptor's profound carving skills and realizing the perfect fusion of materials and skills.
Instrument rhyme
Formed like a god foot, like a natural
The girl's carcass beauty is the most beautiful in the universe. The so-called beauty is expressed through beautiful posture and eyes. The whole work is perfect. The smooth lines and flexible gestures seem to be injected into life. They seem to move and perfectly show the curvy beauty of the girl's figure. In addition, the addition of fluttering long hair and the cover of the dripping silk, also enhanced the meaning of the work, perfectly showing the charming of the spring, becoming a full-bodied artwork.
Time
The system changes at any time and is suitable
Art is an endless return and re-start. A work is excellent and easy, but a work can adapt to changes in lifestyle, and it is difficult to do with a distinctive sense of the times. And Master Wu Yaohui's "Spring Mantian" has reached the "time suitable" state. While highlighting traditional skills, it also has the charm of contemporary sculpture. Combining tradition and modernity, it forms a woodcarving work full of vitality.
