Guyang straw painting

Straw painting is a court handicraft that began in Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is an art of cutting and pasting, just like paper cutting and cloth pasting. Straw has to go through many processes, such as "smoking, steaming, bleaching, scraping, pushing, scalding, cutting, engraving, weaving and painting". According to the luster, grain color and texture of the straw itself, it is generally not colored, and it is cut and pasted as needed. Straw painting has the advantages of bright luster, good cymbal mounting effect and strong artistic appeal, and the figures, flowers, birds and animals produced are lifelike, giving people the beauty of simplicity, naturalness, nobility and elegance.
