Brief introduction of Wuhu iron painting

Iron painting, formerly known as "Iron Flower", is a specialty of Wuhu, Anhui. It is one of the unique handicrafts in China and Wuhu. Iron painting absorbs the composition method of traditional Chinese painting and the techniques of gold and silver jewelry, paper-cutting and sculpture. It takes low carbon steel as raw material, iron instead of ink and hammer instead of pen, and is refined into landscapes, figures, flowers, insects, fish, birds and birds through the processes of publication, cutting, smashing, burning, wax and framing. It combines folk paper-cutting, carving, mosaic and other artistic techniques, adopts Chinese painting composition, contrasts black and white, and combines reality with reality, which has a unique taste.
