Many traditional woodcut prints(版画) are either black and white or simple in color, but reduction woodcut prints(绝版木刻) can show rich colors like Western oil paintings.
The reduction woodcut is a kind of woodcut that uses one piece of wood to make a colorful artwork. The artist cuts and prints different layers(层) in order on the same piece of wood. Famous for its colors , the reduction woodcut was listed as an intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产) in Pu'er, Yunnan, in 2009.
Leng Guangmian is a reduction woodcut artist, and he started learning the art at university in 2003. He said that making reduction woodcut prints is just like an adventure."Every time we cut a pattern on the block(木块) and then print, we never know what it will be like in the
end." As he sees beautiful patterns layer by layer, he only gets more excited, added Leng.
But finishing such work is not easy. He said that he needs to plan for the whole print and choose colors for different layers before cutting. A big print usually takes months to finish.
Leng hopes his artwork can not only show excellent woodcutting skills but also local culture and life." For my works, there are two series: the Tea Horse Road(茶马古道), since Pu'er is one of the starting points of that road; and disappearing villages," Leng said. "Many old villages in Pu'er need rebuilding for sake of safety reasons, so I want to make people remember their beauty before they are gone."

Speaking a language is a skill, like learning to swim. To be a good swimmer, you need to practice swimming. You can't just study the rules of swimming. It's the same with speaking English. No matter how much you study grammar and vocabulary, if you don't practice, it's very difficult to get good at it. December 19, 2023
