扎刻《圆明园四十景微缩景观》简介

扎刻"圆明园四十景"是根据"圆明园四十景"墨线图和彩绘图创作的一个大型古建工艺组群。
组群共包括亭、台、楼、阁、殿、堂、轩、馆、塔、榭、斋、舫、回廊、小桥、门楼、院墙等各种建筑一千多件；建筑高度为真实建筑的三十分之一，总面积三千多平方米。在摆放上既可按景别分为四十个独立的景观，也可按原貌组合成一副圆明园"全景图"。
作品采用中国民间传统的扎刻工艺，所用材料全部为直径0.12--0.90cm之间的优质高粱秸杆，用料长度数万米，连接起来相当于数个珠穆朗玛峰的高度，这些材料是从近百吨的高粱秸秆原料中精挑细选出来的。
作品为纯手工制作，由一百四十余位技艺精湛的技师用三年多的时间制作完成；本作品特聘国家文物局古建专家组组长罗哲文先生为古建技术顾问；公司总经理、河北省著名民间工艺美术家刘左先生亲自设计并主持制作。
本作品制作精巧、构思奇特，小到变化万千的窗棂，大到可以随意开启的门窗（每扇门窗只有拇指大小），无不体现了中国民间艺人的智慧和技艺。特别是用"锁口结构"制作的仿古建斗拱，更是在力学和美学上优于真实斗拱，被西方学者誉为"东方构成学的典范"。因此,欣赏该作品不仅可以重睹昔日名圆的风采,更可以从中领略中国民间工艺的精妙和独到。
本作品完成后曾在国家博物馆和中国美术馆多次展出，受到中外人士、社会各界和专家学者的广泛好评；1997年本作品还荣获了上海大世界基尼斯世界纪录，众多媒体也对该作品作了大量的报道。

A Large Piece of Fine Art
A Brief Introduction Of
"The Forty Landscapes of Yuanmingyuan "

"The Forty Landscapes of Yuanmingyuan" Zhake is a large comprehensive set of ancient architecture pieces that bases its design on the ink and colored pictures of Yuanmingyuan.

The "Zhake" constitutes of more than 1000 pieces of pavilions, platforms, mansions, storied buildings, palaces, halls, balconies, corridors, ships, pagodas, bridges, archways and yard walls. Covering more than 3000 square meters, its height is 1/30th of that of the original landscapes. While the forty landscapes can each be considered as an independent piece of art, they altogether constitute a panoramic view of the Yuanmingyuan Garden.

The work is made of quality sorghum stalks with a diameter of 0.12-0.90 cm, which were all handpicked from hundreds of tons of sorghum stalks by the Chinese traditional artists. The stalks of the sorghum used is tens of thousands of meters long, which is many times more than the heights of the Everest Peak.

Totally made by hand, it took more than 140 Chinese traditional artists 3 years to complete. Mr. Luozhewen, the group leader of the traditional architecture panel of the National Administration of Cultural Heritages was invited as the architectural technical consultant and Mr. Liuzuo, the famous folk arstists of Hebei Province and General Manager of our company, designed and presided over the whole event.

The Forty Landscapes is a fine art delicately connected and carved with sorghum stalks. From the varied small muntins to the large doors and windows (though large, they are only as big as a man's thumb) that could be open and closed as one wishes; people could not help marveling at the talents and skills of the oriental artists. The padlock structured archaized Dougong system used in the art is actually much better than the traditional Dougong Structure in the aesthetic and dynamic terms. It was praised as "Typical Oriental Constructivism" by some western experts. Therefore, the art piece not only restores the landscapes of the famous Yuanmingyuan garden, but it also provides a good opportunity for people to appreciate the marvels and uniqueness of the Chinese Folk Art.
Having been exhibited in the Chinese National Museum and the Chinese National Museum for Fine Arts for many times, the art-piece has won praises from many experts and scholars both home and abroad as well as the coverage of the Chinese media. In 1997, it was listed in the Shanghai Guinness World Records.

Thanks to the techniques provided by the Cultural Heritage Restoration Committee of the State Administration of Cultural Heritages, now the art could be stored and preserved for a long time under museum conditions.

The piece is now for sale. All efforts for cooperation are welcome.
