Research On Inheritance And Design Innovation Of Tengchong Amber Carving Creation

Amber in the Shang Dynasty with crystal,agate,glass,rhinoceros,coral,jade,gold and other precious treasures into the field of vision.Compared with other material cultures in China,the quantity of amber is relatively small.For a long time,the academic circle has paid little attention to it,and the relevant research is even less.Amber carving in China is the same handicraft category as Hetian jade and jadeite carving.Although it is not the mainstream,its skills are inherited and continuous,and it is an indispensable part of the bright and diversified Chinese arts and crafts.Tengchong is located in the southwest frontier of China,adjacent to Myanmar,and facing South Asia and Southeast Asia,forming a geographical environment where various cultures blend,such as The Culture of Han and Yi,and the culture of Indo-Myanmar and Southeast Asia.Meanwhile,tengchong has also formed various forms of living styles and produced rich cultural and artistic forms.Tengchong amber carving is an artistic style created under the influence of local aesthetic thoughts,which fully shows the spirit of living of tengchong people in different periods.However,tengchong amber carving technology is in a state of natural growth for a long time,lack of innovation,the development trend is not optimistic.The development of Tengchong amber carving needs to inherit the fine artistic aesthetics of predecessors,but also needs to combine the social and cultural height of the current era,and consider the different needs of different groups of people for design innovation practice.Tengchong amber carving innovation is not the opposite of the tradition,but the innovation of the essence of the tradition.Article first to comb history of tengchong amber carving skills,analyzes the development characteristics of tengchong amber art in different periods,and then analyze the tengchong amber carving craft characteristic,take its essence,to find tengchong amber sculpture creation "tradition" and "innovation" in the balance between,to review and summarize investigation,tengchong amber carving artistic features,Find out the factors restricting its development at present,and take this as the entry point of design innovation,to think,explore,practice the possibility of the combination of tengchong amber carving creation and modern design.
