木雕作为雕塑艺术诸多形式中的一种,因它特殊质材及独特的表现形式,具有经久不衰的艺术魅力。 雕塑的历史几乎和人类的历史同样的古老,人类成为高等动物的重要的一步是制造工具,但更重要的第二步是创造形象。人类先制造工具,后创造形象,许多世纪中人类用石头或较软材料如木、骨、角等制造工具供实用,实际上,任何削制的石头、木、角质的工具已是一种雕塑的形式。 As one of the many forms of sculpture art, wood carving has an enduring art charm because of its special material and unique forms of expression. The sculpture’s history is almost as old as the history of mankind. An important step towards becoming a higher animal is to make tools, but a more important second step is to create the image. For the first time, mankind has created tools and created images. For centuries, mankind has practically used tools made of stone, softer materials such as wood, bone, horns and the like. In fact, any cut stone, wood, horny tool is already a sculpture form.
