Yangzhou Eight Carvings, which have a long reputation, are called Yangzhou Eight Carvings, including woodcut, bamboo carving, stone carving, brick carving, porcelain carving, tooth carving, paper carving and lacquer carving. Among the eight engravings in Yangzhou, tooth engraving and bamboo engraving are especially famous. Tooth carving and bamboo carving can be divided into deep carving and shallow carving. Yangzhou artists are good at micro-engraving and shallow engraving. Shallow engraving is characterized by fine skills. Although calligraphy and painting are made on teeth and bamboo, it is like using paper and silk. It is brushed and dyed, and the knife is like a pen. It is skillful and smooth, and it takes a moment. Micro-engraving is like a mosquito's foot, painting is like a nail, seeing the big in the small, and the charm is natural. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were many skilled tooth carving and bamboo carving artists in Yangzhou. Pan Xifeng was famous for his skill in leather carving in Qing Dynasty. Zheng Banqiao praised a poem:' I am tired of hating poetry and books every year, and I sew people everywhere to persuade me to study. Let's see what Pan Lang can do with his exquisite carving of bamboo. Wu Rangzhi, the master of epigraphy, has a unique carving of bamboo and teeth, and his works are exquisite and rare. In modern Yangzhou, there were more than a dozen famous teeth and bamboo carvings, including Han Huang and Wu Nanyu. Wu Nanyu carved more than 100 words on an ivory grain as big as rice. In 1927, he carved two shallow works, such as Twelve Golden Hairpins in the Red Chamber, and participated in the Panama Games and won the prize. Nowadays, in addition to tooth carving, bamboo carving and wood carving, Yangzhou has also made great progress in carving paper and lacquer, and its products sell well at home and abroad.
