Brief Introduction to Status and Function of Hot Stamping Technology in Fan Making Craft

“烫花”又称火绘或烙画,是用导热的金属笔在木质扇片上烫烙出理想的画面,运用到扇面上常见的题材有山水、园林、人物(仕女、佛像)及翎毛花卉。曾荣获“国家银杯奖”的苏州“如意牌”檀香扇之所以被誉为东方艺术宝库中的明珠驰名中外,其主要因素是除了精心设计外,还采用特殊的“四花”技艺,包括烫花、拉花(镂刻)、绘花(绘画)和雕花,通过这些工艺的综合运用精制而成的檀香扇,以其造型优美、纤巧玲珑的艺术特色而独具风采。

"Hot Stamping",also known as fire painting or pyrography,refers to ironing an ideal picture on wooden fansheet through heat-conducting metal pen.Common themes on the fan surface include landscapes,gardens,characters(ladies and Buddha statues),birds and flowers.
