Ice sculpture art is an art form with ice as the main material and has a long history. In ancient times, in the northeast of China, due to the cold weather and frequent ice and snow, the ancients used ice and snow to build some structures, such as igloos and igloos. With the development of ice sculpture art, more and more scholars began to study the origin of ice sculpture. Some historians have pointed out that the history of building ice palaces around the world can be traced back to more than 250 years ago. 1739, the Russian built the magnificent palladio Palace with ice on the Neva River in St. Petersburg. 1883 At the first Winter Carnival held in Montreal, Canada, the sculptor carved a 75-square-meter castle with 227 kilograms of ice. It can be seen that ice sculptures have a long history at home and abroad.
In the early days, people used ice to build practical things, such as igloos, which had high use value. The famous Eskimo igloo is their daily residence. Later, people began to pay attention to the artistic value of ice sculpture. Carve all kinds of people, animals and life scenes with ice to convey beauty. Because ice is frozen by water, its texture is moist and crystal clear, and it is as attractive as jade. Coupled with the carving of skilled craftsmen, it becomes more artistic. Later, people added various colors of lights to the ice sculpture. The ingenious combination of the two deepens the visual impact of ice sculpture works and makes the ice sculpture more beautiful.
Nowadays, ice sculpture has become a popular art form, and many places hold ice sculpture art festivals and other related activities every winter. In China, Harbin Ice Sculpture Festival is a famous series of activities, attracting a large number of tourists every year and becoming an important local tourism resource.
