出于一种责任和热心,继《关东十八怪》之后,翟孟义历时两年,又挖掘、整理、创作了反映东北民间民俗民情的木雕重彩作品《关东十八匠》,这套作品,通过写实,夸张略带幽默的木雕重彩表现形式,再现关东先民丰富多彩的生活实际,给人以原始、亲切、质朴、祥和之感,激发人们对民俗文化的崇尚和美好回忆。 Out of a sense of responsibility and zeal, following the “Kanto Eighteen Blades”, Zhai Mengyi lasted for two years and dug, sorted out and created a woodcarving masterpiece “Kanto Eighteen” that reflects the folk customs of Northeast China. Through this work, Realistic, exaggerated slightly humorous woodcarving forms of color, reproduce the rich and colorful life of the ancients of Kanto, giving people a sense of primitive, cordial, simple, peaceful, and inspire people to advocate and good memories of folk culture.
