[Explanation] Ice engraving is a unique art category in Harbin. It was born on the basis of ice painting and has strong regional characteristics.
The creative process of ice engraving is not much different from traditional engraving. First, the sketch design is carried out, the rough outline is drawn on the ice surface with paint, and finally the carving knife is used to engrave on the ice surface.

It is very light and easy to carve. , but it will burst, and some unforeseen cracks will occur, which may require a deep understanding of the requirements of the picture, including the author's knife skills and understanding of the material.

Make an ice board, and in the process of making rubbings, you will rub ten pieces, and each of these ten pieces will be different.
Because when we are applying paint, the paint contains water. During the painting process, every piece of rubbing we print will have a natural change, so each piece is different. Every one is different, so every ice print is out of print.
