The formation of Chinese traditional handicraft style depends first on the ideological connotation. At the same time, the uniqueness of materials and processes is also an important aspect. As a cultural heritage, style and skill are always a whole.
But in order to integrate into the modern society, it is necessary to separate them. Because materials and skills bring both unique styles and limitations, it is impossible to make jade carvings into fine carvings like tooth carvings. However, modern society does not attach importance to the economic value of jade and ivory, and even needs ornaments and supplies that are not expensive and change with the wind. If the formation of traditional handicrafts and the skills are out of a fixed relationship, there is room for re-creation. For example, soft sculptures show colored pottery patterns, use carpets to represent Han Dynasty portrait stones, and use large-scale wooden reliefs to simulate jade carvings are successful attempts. Conversely, reflecting new themes with traditional skills is also a transplant. The modern ceramic art mentioned above is a model. However, not all themes are suitable for traditional crafts. There is a display where small clay figures are used to make large figures of modern figures, turning their advantages into disadvantages, making it difficult to succeed.
