Brief introduction of juancheng brick Plastic Co., Ltd

Applicant: juancheng County, Shandong Province

Juancheng brick sculpture is a traditional sculpture art founded and inherited by Xie family in juancheng County, Shandong Province. During the reign of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, Xie Guangfang, a native of juancheng, created a unique brick molding technique through repeated practice. From Xie Guangfang to Xie Zhenqian and now to Xie Xueyun, juancheng brick sculpture has been inherited in Xie family for three generations. The unique Xiejia brick sculpture in juancheng maintains the characteristics of traditional folk kneading and earthenware crafts, with ingenious and complete conception, simple and frank technique, clear and orderly arrangement, clear and smooth lines, vivid and vivid modeling, and reveals strong local flavor and folk sentiment. The decorative components of temples, ancestral halls and other buildings made by Xie Jia's brick molding technique are widely spread in eastern Shandong and Western Henan, and are famous for thousands of miles. Juancheng brick sculpture mainly includes opera brick sculpture and flower and bird brick sculpture. In the overall creation, the former takes a larger proportion. The creators often choose opera stories loved by the masses, and integrate ideology into aesthetic creation by whipping evil, sycophantic and ugly things. The former gives full play to the moral education function of traditional art and provides reference for folklore, traditional ethics and local culture The study of history and culture provides vivid first-hand materials. At present, due to the popularity of modern architectural forms, Xiejia brick sculpture in juancheng, as a traditional architectural decoration art, is declining day by day, which is in urgent need of protection.
