Root carving is to create artistic works of characters, animals, utensils and other artistic images through conception, artistic processing and process, taking the autogenetic form and distorted form of tree roots (including tree bodies, nodules, bamboo roots, etc.) as the object of artistic creation. Root carving art is a kind of plastic art that discovers natural beauty and shows creative processing. The so-called "three parts of labor, seven parts of nature" means that in the creation of root carving, most of the natural forms of root materials should be used to express artistic images, and a few of them should be artificially processed and modified. Therefore, root carving is also called "root art" or "root art". The basic technique of root carving is to use exaggeration, fantasy and abstraction to reflect real life. To be specific, it is to make a comprehensive and careful observation of the selected root material and make a clever idea. By virtue of its shape, texture, knots, concavity and convexity, curvature, holes, and so on, it is a bold idea to combine the virtual with the real. The line seeks the usable value of the material itself with a variety of themes and contents, and is good at finding the extraordinary from the ordinary, and gradually determines the overall image of the creation. It is very important to make clear the creative idea and imagine boldly for the root generation creation.

Auxiliary tools for wood carving: mainly hammer, wood file, axe and saw. The purpose of the axe is to cut a large amount of wood with the help of paring. Pay attention not to use too much force when cutting. Do not cut straight up and down. The edge of the axe should be kept at about 45 degrees with the vertical wood grain, otherwise the wood will crack. Hainan GRC component wood file is mainly used in the fine blank stage of round carving, which can replace the flat knife to smooth the chisel marks for polishing; It can also take the place of round knife or oblique knife for hollowing. The function of the wood file is also that it can quickly adjust the modeling structure in a large area, and can be used in combination with the carving knife to make the turning and turning of the figure's clothing patterns vivid and smooth, with both virtual and real effects. The shape of hammers for wooden sculptures in Hainan is flat, flat, wide and square. The dimension of hammer face can be controlled at about 7 × 5.5 × 2.5 cm. Too narrow or too thick will affect the accuracy of the hammer's landing point and the uniformity of force. There are two kinds of hammers: wooden hammers and iron hammers. The wooden hammers generally use hardwoods with a large proportion of wood, such as mahogany, boxwood, sandalwood, beech and fruit trees. The specifications can be controlled at 27 cm in length, 55 cm in width and 45 cm in thickness; The grip is round and slightly flat, and the size is suitable for holding in the hand.

Traditional sculpture is a visual, tactile and static three-dimensional art form molded with traditional materials; Modern sculpture uses new materials to make anti traditional four-dimensional, five-dimensional, acousto-optic, soft and dynamic sculptures. According to traditional materials, and according to environment and function, it can be divided into urban sculpture, garden sculpture, indoor sculpture, outdoor sculpture, desk sculpture, shelf sculpture, etc. There are many kinds of sculpture materials, such as clay, stone, wood, metal, gypsum, resin, ivory, etc. Then several categories were developed: wood carvings: wood carvings have a long history. Most of the early themes were centered on religion. In addition to religious icons, they were also used for the decoration of altars and religious places. In countries where wood building flourishes, wood carving develops with architecture. Modern wood carvings have quite diversified styles and features, and artists like to use abstract forms to express them. In addition, wood carving is also an important contributor to the invention of printing. Please see woodcut prints for details; Stone carving: The regions where stone carving is developed have a lot to do with where the stones suitable for carving are produced. The regions where stone carving is developed have a long history of stone carving. In the past, stone carvings were often used as decorations of gardens, signs of doorways, or architectural decorations of mausoleums. Because the stone is thick (not easy to be stolen), and the details of carvings are not easy to be damaged by wind and rain, stone carvings are mostly in outdoor environments. The common stone carving material is marble. There are clay sculptures, ice sculptures, sand sculptures, metal sculptures and pottery.
