Zhangda

Zhang Da Zhang Da is an original ecological folk handicraft that resembles the "face-changing" form in drama. It was popular among Wuqiang people in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Its production form is that six drawing boards with various New Year pictures on both sides are skillfully connected together, and 22 pictures with different contents can be turned out with a slight shake by hand, just like the "face-changing" art in drama, which is full of fun. However, due to certain difficulties, the production process disappeared in the war as early as the 1940s. In recent years, in order to save the folk cultural heritage, Guo Shurong, the master of arts and crafts in China and the curator of the former Wuqiang New Year Pictures Museum, has excavated and sorted out Zhang Da, a special handicraft in Wuqiang New Year Pictures, and made it appear in the arts and crafts market with a colorful new look. "Zhangda", which reappears, selects the treasures of past dynasties in Wuqiang New Year pictures as reproduction patterns, and strives for perfection in craftsmanship and plates, so that this handicraft that can show a variety of pictures without any mechanical and magnetic action integrates craftsmanship, intelligence and interest, and becomes a good product for collectors and givers, and is favored by people from all walks of life at home and abroad.
