Abstract:The technique of Jingzhou carved preserved fruit has enjoyed a long history. It is one of the non-material cultural heritages which perfectly combines delicious food with handicraft. The works of Luo Xianmei, the representative inheritor, covered extensive subjects in patterns inclusive of flowers, birds, insects, fishes, fowls, beasts, calligraphy paintings and personal characters. The main artistic characteristics of Luo Xianmei’s carved preserved fruits were embodied in full composition, vivid profile, devoted color, pattern techniques with reference of fusion, rich subjects, and auspicious connotations. Carved designs indicated Miao people’s pursuit of better life and worship for totems as well. With the distinctive art feature and high aesthetic value, Luo Xianmei’s works of carved preserved fruit reflected the collective wisdom of women of Miao and Dong minorities.
