Suqian Pyrography(烙画),also known as “Fire Needle Embroidery(火针刺绣)”,is a traditional art with a history dating back to the Western Han Dynasty. It uses a hot pen to draw pictures. This art started over 2,000 years ago. In 2010,it became a special cultural treasure(宝藏) of Suqian City.
Craftsmen(工匠) use a hot pen like a pencil. They draw on wood or paper. The heat makes lines and colours. They must be very careful because they cannot erase(擦除) mistakes.
A man named Yan Shichang is good at this art. He helps to keep it alive. He even uses paper to draw,which is easier to carry. One of his famous works shows beautiful places in Suqian.
In recent years,Suqian Pyrography has continued(继续) to develop. It now includes local stories,such as those about Xiang Yu,and scenes from places like Luoma Lake. It is also used on souvenirs(纪念品) and product packaging(包装). To help more people learn this art,classes are offered in colleges.
This ancient art,with its simple and elegant(优雅的) style,has become a cultural symbol(象征) of Suqian. It continues to develop through the blend(混合) of fire and wood,keeping a special artistic life.
