The Xu Brick Carving was introduced to Xu He Township, lankao county with the floating population during the Hongwu period of Ming Dynasty. Since the late Qing dynasty, this research has developed to the sixth generation, which was founded by Xu. Since the 1990s, brick carving has been rarely used in modern cement buildings, so the production of brick carving in Xushi has been cold year by year. At present, Xu often regards brick carving as an artistic hobby. On the basis of inheriting predecessors' skills and styles, Xu keeps innovating and carving meticulously. His artistic style of brick carving is simple, vigorous and vigorous in Gu Zhuo. He washes with a knife and steel, with rough lines and pays attention to the overall effect. The technique is generally relief or a layer of shallow round carving. The scenery is close before and after, with the help of line carving modeling, which is rich in decorative interest.
Xu's colored sculptures belong to folk colored sculptures, which were produced during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. This is a work of art, made of clay, fiber and water, hand-molded, dried in the shade, polished and colored. Xu Shicai's description of human life has expanded the scope of the subject matter of sculpture art. His works show concern for real life and publicity of folk culture, which has injected vitality into folk culture. His color plastic art takes the popular color plastic as the medium, gives full play to the media function of materials, is rich in colors, depicts delicately, and combines various styles and techniques, bringing both refined and popular tastes, so his works are realistic, secular and artistic.
