Abstract
As the saying goes: "Five thousand years of history to see Shanxi." Shanxi has a written history of three thousand years and is known as the "Museum of Ancient Chinese Culture." In every corner of Shanxi, there are scattered remnants of human civilization. Among them, the cultural treasures that encapsulate the essence of calligraphy and painting, have withstood the test of time and continue to exude a lingering fragrance today. It can be seen that people highly cherish his calligraphy works. The reproduction project also aims to recreate the works of Qi Zao. We aim to capture the meaningful and elegant essence of his calligraphy works. Therefore, in the woodblock carving process, the narrative of this article begins with the reproduction of ancient artworks for the Shanxi Governor's Palace. This project is a collaborative effort of the School of Fine Arts at Shanxi University. The original intention of this project is to utilize Shanxi's intangible cultural heritage techniques to replicate ancient artworks created by Shanxi painters and calligraphers.
