　　The Qing Dynasty was the heyday of ivory carving. Like bamboo, wood, horn, stone and other small carvings, ivory carving became a rare display on several cases.

　　Before the Qing Dynasty, ivory carving inherited the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, and it has developed in terms of production technology and artistic creation.

　　After the mid-term, the artistic creation of ivory sculpture has become cumbersome and decorative.At that time, ivory carvings were divided into two categories: court handicrafts and folk handicrafts. The palace makers were exquisitely crafted, and the figures, flowers and birds were decorated with imitations of paintings, and there were certain rules for coloring and filling.

　　Even so, there is no absolute difference between the two, and many court toothsmiths were recruited directly from the people.Ivory carving in the Qing Dynasty has basically formed two major art schools in Jiangnan and Guangdong.Due to the preference of literati and elegant scholars, fresh and elegant works appeared. In order to obtain good works, a large number of literati painters not only designed the composition, but also directly participated in the carving, making new changes in the style of ivory carving.

These small ivory pieces are mostly literati stories, flower and bird patterns, and auspicious themes. For decoration, it has a strong literati atmosphere.Ivory carving has become a desk game for literati, doctors and officials.

　　In the Qing Dynasty, the practical items of ivory carving were not the main part of the ivory carving process, but they were by no means not produced at all, but also produced by accident, only serving a few nobles, and the varieties were only small pieces such as chopsticks and fans.Others include lamps, crown holders, shoehorns, snuff bottles and the like.
