Master Desheng, just praise! So it is the most expensive Buddha sculpture in Fucheng... Artist Huang Desheng, from Anping, Tainan (1955～), has been interested in art since he was a child. After graduating from elementary school in 1967, his parents were sent to the "Jinyong Paper Paste Shop" to follow Master Chen Jinyong (1934～1997) to learn how to paste paper skill. Master Jin Yong is a well-known paper paste master in Tainan. Later, he felt that his painstaking works were often burned and could not be preserved. So he turned to sculpture sculptures and opened the "Jin Fang Pavilion". Master De Sheng also followed along and studied sketching. In the 1970s, Jinfang Pavilion began to rise. The early style of Buddha makeup was based on imitating the Quanzhou School and taking the advantages of both Quanzhou and Fuzhou schools to create a new style. In 1986, Master Desheng set up his own door. In order to take the store name "Tangxing Pavilion", Jin Yongshi and his previous fellow students Zeng Yingfei "Tang Hua Pavilion" and Zheng Xianren "Tang Xian Pavilion", occupying a place in the Fucheng Buddhist industry. Master Desheng carved many crude embryos in Jinfang Pavilion. After establishing himself, the demand for idols in the market increased greatly during the popular period of Café de Coral, and often the supply exceeded demand. In the first stage, the facial features of the statue are carved out, and subsequent takeovers can reduce mistakes. At that time, the ratio of traditional idols to the human body was inconsistent, and the face was too large and the lower body was often too short or too long. Master Desheng adjusted them one by one. Later, Master Desheng carved the five poisonous emperor statues for the Longqing Palace in Xinhua. The model was realistic, with mighty appearance, muscle knots, and unique style. It became a masterpiece and attracted many imitations. Since then, all parties have invited endless invitations. The statues carved by Master Desheng have a strong artistic style, and the owners are not only interested in collecting them, but Master Desheng adjusted the position after interviews with the owners, so as to look at the statues during the sacrifice and feel the blessing of the gods. Master Desheng insists that every deity work has spirituality, "paying attention to details can achieve perfection." In the process of making Buddha in Tangxing Pavilion, the technique of putting the statues on the bottom of the loess after the fine blank is finished. The animal bone glue (water glue) + loess is still preserved, and it is boiled into loess lacquer. ; The pink line technique has beautiful lines, flexible and detailed, and very special.
