“湘南木雕”传统工艺与创新研究

Research on Traditional Technology and Innovation of“Xiangnan Wood Carving”

木雕,是从传统民间工艺——木工中衍生出来的一个精细工种。木雕在原始社会新石器时期的浙江河姆渡文化中便已初现雏形,那时候的木材被削尖用来做防御武器,抵御外敌入侵,同时也因通信技术的不发达,原始人类在木头上雕刻做简单的记号;这从考古学家挖掘的木雕人面像中可初见端倪,可以说木雕在物质条件落后的原始社会是不可或缺的。随着现代社会科学技术日新月异的发展,人们不再需要木器来自卫和维持基本的物质生活,木雕作为精神文化的一个依托似乎慢慢地淡出了人们的视野。

Wood carving is a fine type of work derived from the traditional folk craft carpentry.Wood carving has begun to take shape in the Hemudu culture of Zhejiang Province in the Neolithic period of China’s primitive society,at that time,the wood was sharpened and used as a defense weapon against foreign invasion.At the same time,because of the underdeveloped communication technology,primitive humans carved on wood to make simple marks,this can be seen from the wood carved human face excavated by archaeologists,it can be said that wood carving is indispensable in the primitive society with backward material conditions.With the rapid development of science and technology in modern society,people no longer need wood tools to self-defense and maintain a basic material life.Wood carving,as a support of spiritual culture,seems to slowly fade out of people’s vision.
