INTRODUCTION

Heilongjiang, this black land engraved with the epic of struggle, is a major center of Chinese modern and contemporary printmaking art. The "Beidahuang Printmaking" that emerged in the mid-20th century, represented by a generation of art masters such as Chao Mei, Zhang Zhenqi, and Du Hongnian, uses knives as pens and wood as media to fuse the magnificent journey of arduous entrepreneurship with the majestic atmosphere of the mountains and rivers of northern Xinjiang into an artistic classic with strong visual shock and spiritual appeal, and integrates into the spiritual bloodline of modern Chinese art, becoming a valuable tradition that inspires future learning and nourishes creativity. The "Engraving Era - The First Contemporary Printmaking Biennial Exhibition" is held here based on the profound printmaking tradition and historical context of Heilongjiang. This land has nurtured the pioneering spirit and artistic character of "Beidahuang Printmaking", providing rich spiritual nourishment and historical reference for contemporary printmaking creation. This exhibition has received widespread response from the national printmaking industry, receiving 2687 submitted works. After strict evaluation, 147 selected works were selected, and 49 Beidahuang printmaking works were invited to be exhibited together. The exhibition is divided into three academic units: "The Beauty of the Primordial Land Plowing Sound", "The Narrative Era Scene of Great Powers", and "Exploring the Future Dimensions in Diversity". The "Beautiful Land Plowing Sound of the Primordial Wilderness" section showcases a collection of prints from Beidahuang.
