台湾艺术家陈逢显近日在新北市接受中新社记者采访，介绍了他的新作“黄金十二生肖”，旨在以微雕艺术展现中华文化的细腻与源远流长。陈逢显用六年时间，以黄金为材质，创作出十二生肖微雕作品，每个作品长度约1厘米，每一只生肖都经过精心设计与巧思，力求在方寸之间展现动物的形态与特点。
在陈逢显看来，十二生肖与黄金的结合，是对中华文化内涵的极好体现。十二生肖是华人文化中不可或缺的元素，象征着生命、时间与自然的循环；而黄金自古以来就象征着华丽、高贵与富裕，二者结合不仅展现了中华文化的独特魅力，也赋予了作品更为丰富的象征意义。
其中，龙作为中国传统的吉祥象征，陈逢显设计出的黄金微雕龙，不仅在形态上力求逼真，更在细节上别出心裁。例如，设计龙舟样式，以凸显龙的双角、龙须、眼睛等特征，并巧妙地在龙嘴中嵌入一颗“龙珠”，使得整件作品栩栩如生，生动展现龙的威严与灵性。
生肖羊则以三只羊的形象出现，象征“三阳开泰”，寓意新的一年中多福多祥；生肖鸡则被设计为“全家福”的形象，强调家庭在中华文化中的重要性。这些设计不仅展示了陈逢显对中华文化的深刻理解，也体现了他对于传统文化的创新与传承。
作为知名的微雕艺术家，陈逢显致力于推动两岸文化交流。他认为，中华文化对他个人的成长影响深远，正是在中华文化的熏陶下，他才能创作出如此丰富且具有深厚文化内涵的作品。此外，他还积极参与美化社区的活动，通过砖雕、绘画等艺术形式，为社区增添艺术氛围，使居民在日常生活中也能感受到文化的魅力。
陈逢显毫芒雕刻博物馆每逢星期日对外开放，采用自助收费的方式，并为学生提供优惠。这里不仅是一个展示作品的场所，也成为了文化教育的平台，吸引了许多家长带着孩子前来参观，孩子们不仅有机会向陈逢显请教相关问题，还能亲手体验制作砖雕等艺术活动。
陈逢显表示，自己已年过半百，不再追求个人的名利，而是将重心放在文化的传承与发扬上。他感到非常满足，能够将自己对艺术的热爱与文化的责任相结合，通过作品与活动影响更多人，共同推动中华文化的传播与发展。

Headline: Micro-carving Art Unfurls Chinese Cultural Charm – Interview with Taiwan Artist Chen Fongxian
Keywords: Micro-carving Art, Chinese Culture, Preservation and Promotion
Content: Taiwan-based artist Chen Fongxian recently shared insights into his latest creation, the “Golden Twelve Zodiacs,” in an interview with China News Service. The aim is to showcase the intricate and enduring nature of Chinese culture through the medium of micro-carving art. Chen, who dedicated six years to this project, crafted twelve miniature zodiac figures from gold, each approximately 1 centimeter in length. Each zodiac is meticulously designed and thoughtfully crafted to portray the essence of the animal in a compact space.
To Chen, the fusion of the twelve zodiacs with gold is an excellent embodiment of Chinese cultural depth. The zodiacs are integral elements in Chinese culture, symbolizing life, time, and the cycle of nature; while gold, since ancient times, has represented elegance, nobility, and prosperity. This combination not only highlights the unique charm of Chinese culture but also enriches the symbolic meaning of the artworks.
Among these, the dragon, a traditional symbol of good fortune in China, is featured with a gold micro-carving that not only aims for realism in form but also excels in detailing. Chen designed the dragon with a dragon boat motif to highlight the dragon’s horns, whiskers, and eyes, and cleverly embedded a “Dragon珠” within its mouth, making the piece come alive and vividly portraying the dragon’s majesty and spirituality.
The zodiac sheep is depicted in the form of three sheep, symbolizing “Three Yangs Opening the Spring,” an auspicious symbol for the new year. The zodiac rooster is designed as a symbol of “Full Family,” emphasizing the importance of family in Chinese culture. These designs showcase Chen’s profound understanding of Chinese culture and his innovative and traditional preservation efforts.
As a renowned micro-carving artist, Chen is dedicated to fostering cross-strait cultural exchanges. He believes that Chinese culture has profoundly influenced his personal growth, allowing him to create such rich and culturally profound works. Additionally, he actively participates in community beautification activities, enhancing the artistic atmosphere of the community through brick carving, painting, and other art forms, enabling residents to experience the charm of culture in their daily lives.
Ming Fongxian’s Micro-Engraving Museum opens every Sunday on a self-service payment basis, offering discounts to students. It serves not only as a venue to display works but also as a platform for cultural education, attracting many parents and their children. Visitors have the opportunity to ask Chen about related issues and engage in hands-on activities like brick carving.
Chen, now in his late fifties, has shifted his focus from personal accolades to the transmission and promotion of culture. He feels content combining his passion for art with cultural responsibility, influencing more people through his works and activities, and collectively advancing the dissemination and development of Chinese culture.
