What does the carving mean? There is a boy leading the way in front of the old birthday star?
"Old Birthday Star".
This work was created collectively by some sculptors from Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts.
Respecting the elders, being filial to the elders, and wishing and caring for the elders to live long is a theme that is very humane and humane in traditional Chinese culture. The "magnetic field" of China's "filial piety culture" has a huge gravitational pull, and the ethical norms it forms are widely recognized by Chinese people and are regarded as noble moral laws. The elderly carry history, they pave the way for us to move forward, their command inspires future generations, and their career achievements inspire us. The happiness and longevity of the elderly is an important symbol of the peace and tranquility of the country and society. Most of the descendants of the Yan and Huang dynasties at home and abroad attach great importance to the family ties between their parents and love the land where they and their ancestors lived and worked. This is one of the reasons why the Chinese nation has strong cohesion. Now promoting the many concepts, norms, styles and warmth of "longevity culture" can provide us with reference to better solve the problems faced by the aging society. With the development of China's modernization drive and the continuous accumulation of social wealth, we are better equipped to provide the elderly with more warmth, health and happiness. It is based on this consideration that the authors creatively designed this stone sculpture art work of "Old Birthday Star".
Please take a look, what is shown in front of us is: the old birthday star is taking the birthday peach from a modern little boy with his hands. Among them, the old birthday boy is smiling, the little boy is innocent and cute, and a sika deer lies next to him. The structure of this sculpture is lively and festive. It not only metaphors the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture and the connection between traditional culture and modern culture, but also expresses the blessings of the Jiaxiang people to the elderly. "Shou culture" will brew wine that is more enjoyable for the elderly. To this end, we must make continuous efforts!
