Brilliant Works on the Silk Road: Exhibition of Dongyang Woodcarvings by Lu Guangzheng in Celebration of the 60th Anniversary of His Art Life

    Lu Guangzheng is a representative inheritor of Dongyang woodcutting, one of the first group of national intangible cultural heritage projects. Born in April 1945 in Dongyang City of Zhejiang Province, Lu Guangzheng in his boyhood was exceptionally taken by Mr. Lou Shuiming, a famous old artist known as “No. 1 Woodwork Carver” in Dongyang, as his “last disciple”. In 1965 he started advanced studies at the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts (today’s China Academy of Art); in 1988 he won the title of “Chinese Arts and Crafts Master”; in 2008, he won the title of “Asian-Pacific Arts and Crafts Master”. Having acted as Director of the Dongyang Woodcarving Factory and Head of the Dongyang Woodcarving Vocational School, he is now President of the Woodcarving Art Specialized Committee of the China Arts-Crafts Association, Executive President of the Masters’ Federation of the China Arts-Crafts Association, Committee Member of the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) and Chief Designer of the Dongyang Lu Guangzheng Studio.

The legend of Madam White Snake by Lu Guangzheng

    Having engaged in this art for nearly six decades, Lu is versed in all techniques of woodcarving, and skilled in all the processes of woodcarving. While inheriting the traditional woodcarving art, he keeps exploring and innovating and enjoys a high reputation in the trade. This exhibition consists of three chapters: I. “Chinese Dream, National Cause”; II. “Explorations on the Silk Road”; III. “A Splendid Chapter on the Way to Rejuvenation”. The exhibition fully reflects the artist’s best wishes for promoting the Silk Road spirit, presenting the brilliant achievements made along the “Belt & Road”, and eulogizing the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Sachet with patterns of grape flowers and birds Tang Dynasty Shaanxi History Museum

This delicately created sachet is composed of two parts, the outer one is made of silver, engraved with grape flower and birds patterns, and the inner part, a tiny container for herbs, is made of gold.
