Relief is a kind of sculpture. The sculptor carves the image he wants to shape on a flat plate, making it separate from the plane of the original material. Relief is the product of the combination of sculpture and painting. It deals with objects in a compressed way, and displays three-dimensional space by perspective and other factors. It is only for one side or two sides to see. The reliefs are usually attached to another plane, so they are used more in architecture and can be seen on utensils and implements. Due to its compression characteristics, it occupies less space, so it is suitable for decoration in a variety of environments. In recent years, it has played an increasingly important role in urban beautification. The relief is as rich and colorful as the round sculpture in content, form and material. The materials of relief include stone, wood, ivory and metal. The relief is a semi vertical sculpture whose image shape protrudes from the stone surface (as opposed to the relief). It can be divided into light relief and high relief according to the depth of stone removal in image modeling. The bas reliefs are single level statues with relatively simple contents; The high relief is a multi-level statue with complicated contents. The carving technique and expression style of relief are basically the same as those of round sculpture. Many ancient and modern large-scale memorial buildings, high-end mansions and private houses are equipped with such decorations. Their main works are wall blocks, flower windows, dragon columns (early) and column bases.
