What is the "woodcut stare blankly" of Manchu Russians in the Map of Qing Dynasty?

When I first arrived in Manzhouli, I was trapped in the street of a border town. The most interesting thing is the wooden house with strong Russian architectural style. It is very sculptural and is called "colored sculpture". It is not only a three-dimensional image that people can see visually, but also an artistic image that people can measure in their hearts. It gives people a subtle and quiet feeling, produces a magnetic force and obtains the beauty of a foreign country. Every time you pass a wooden room, you should appreciate it, or you should stand there and observe it more for your eyes.

In summer, it is under a green forest tree, and in winter, it is in the embrace of snow, keeping the footsteps of passers-by with vivid artistic language. When people look at them, they often linger and even want to touch or hug them involuntarily. Elegant, unique, beautiful and harmonious woodcut houses not only have the function of use, but also integrate with the surrounding environment, forming a panoramic view of the beauty of the city. Woodcut houses in Manzhouli are mainly distributed in the Second and Third Streets in Shinan District and Telegraph Street, Toudao Street, Erdao Street and Sandao Street under Tianqiao in Shibei District. When people walk in the street to appreciate these wooden houses, they become connoisseurs and appreciate them according to their own aesthetic point of view.

The building materials of wooden houses are nothing more than stones and wood. However, due to its unique processing and artistic creation, it has produced rich texture contrast. Under the dado, large stones are generally chosen as the foundation, and thick logs are piled in the middle or nailed into walls with long boards of different widths; Upper eaves, door eaves and window eaves are the key points of decoration, mainly made of wood, combined with wood carving and painting skills. Therefore, the woodcut shows the audience three "trilogy": the steady and smooth lower part, the simple and friendly middle part and the charming upper part.

Sculpture and color painting on the eaves are the center of interest in wooden house decoration and the visual focus of the viewer. The roughness of the lower material of woodcut room reflects the fineness of the upper material; The simplicity of the middle and lower processing technology sets off the complexity of the upper processing technology, thus showing an implicit, rough, gorgeous and simple artistic effect on the whole. This "trilogy" is symphonic, giving people a unity of spirit and organization, making people melt into a perfect spiritual realm and feel a kind of unpretentious thoughts and feelings.

The decoration of wood carving room should not only show the inherent color difference of materials, but also pay attention to the treatment of artificial surface color. This is mainly reflected in color painting. Color paintings are generally painted on the middle wall and the upper "three eaves" wooden materials.

Usually the colors are similar, and the middle walls are mostly warm yellow or golden yellow. "Three eaves" use cool colors, such as blue, green and light green. In this way, the cool colors of the "three eaves" are elegant and beautiful against the backdrop of the central wall and large areas of warm colors. The roof is mostly herringbone, and the iron sheet is painted purple or brown, which is also considered to coordinate the colors under the eaves.

From the bottom of the wall to the roof, various colors complement each other, forming a larger overall color visually, so that the viewer can obtain a simple and noble contrast and blending effect. The contrast between abstract and concrete wooden houses is mainly manifested in the carving and color of the main body, and the color is manifested in the stylized layout. Its abstractness is mainly reflected in the color carving of eaves, door eaves and window eaves.

These carved images are various and exquisite, just like flowers blooming against branches and green leaves. Its concreteness includes plane and three-dimensional, which mainly reflects the influence of Russian culture. The wooden "wall" in the middle of the room, whether made of logs or nailed with long boards, looks simple, straight and continuous, especially the decorative wood carvings under the "three eaves".

The unity of abstraction and figurative decoration of wooden boards is also reflected in the area comparison. There is a huge wooden wall in the middle of the woodcarving room and a small concrete woodcarving under three eaves, which forms a distinct effect and highlights the key points. In addition, the extensive use of decorative lines of window frames and door frames not only distinguishes the interfaces of different sizes, but also makes the original rigid "wall" plane patterned and regularized, thus achieving the effect that abstract decoration and figurative decoration are interdependent without being stiff.

After watching the extraordinary trilogy, the contrast of various colors, the strong contrast between abstraction and concreteness, the audience in the past will find their own appreciation impression of this wooden house. It is a sculpture full of flesh and blood, a sculpture full of emotion, a sculpture full of imagination and a sculpture full of fairy tales.
