摘要
Pyrography is the art of burning pictorial images onto a surface,such as wood,leather or paper.During the past two millennia,numerous Chinese craftspeople have used irons,as paint brushes,to paint on gourds.As"葫芦hulu(gourd)"and"福禄Jfulu(good fortune and luck)"are homophones,many Chinese consider the gourd to be a mascot.The craft of pyrography,on gourds,is on the list of China's intangible cultural heritage.
葫芦谐音“福禄”,作为中华吉祥文化的象征,一直深受人们的喜爱。烙画葫芦艺术又称火绘葫芦,是一种特色传统工艺美术品,被列入国家级非物质文化遗产。艺术家们用烙铁在葫芦上熨出烙痕作画,具有很高的欣赏和收藏价值。
