The historical origin of ice sculpture

In the early northeast of China, due to the cold weather, it was often snow and ice, and there was snow outside the door. At that time, the ice formed by the river was carved into a simple shape to hold the object. Therefore, the ice sculpture should originate from China at the earliest. Ice sculpture is the leader of the art of food and beverage display. Its shape can be infinitely combined. It can be a container for the package. There is no space limit, and its crystal clear, bright and radiant texture brightens the visual enjoyment. The crystal clear and transparent in the ice sculpture. Because ice sculpture is made of water, water is an indispensable substance for the human body. In addition to the enjoyment of the senses, there is also an incomparable fresh mouth-feeling, large-scale ice sculpture, which functions more generally at the official reception or dinner party. At the banquet, the theme of large-scale ice sculpture is taken, in addition to increasing the atmosphere of the venue. It also shows the brilliance of its theme, so it is popular all over Southeast Asia and even the whole world, and love it. [1]

Some observers have pointed out that glaciers are the most natural and beautiful sculptures on earth. Relatively speaking, human ice sculptures are a new phenomenon compared with human competitors and mentors, nature. However, human activities such as masking, food preservation and artistic expression with ice and snow have been around for hundreds of years.

The Inuit people in the Arctic Bay and many other Aborigines living in the Arctic Circle use ice and snow to build their homes – the well-known igloo. These circular buildings are the result of hand-carving by local Aboriginal people using the snow and ice environment in which they live. These buildings have kept their occupants from the biting cold winds and the Arctic low temperature climate for nearly a hundred years. Even today, tourists can choose to stay overnight in a igloo hut for tourists, such as the igloo hotel resort in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland. Other ice and snow hotels like Sweden and Canada are also very popular attractions.

In addition to these snow and ice huts, historians point out that the construction of ice and snow palaces around the world dates back more than 250 years. In 1739, Russia built the majestic Palladian Palace on the banks of the Neva River in St. Petersburg. At the first Winter Carnival in Montreal, Canada, in 1883, the sculptor carved a 75-square-meter castle with ice weighing 227 kilograms.

However, the largest ice and snow palace in North America was built on the Rocky Mountains in Ridwell, Colorado. In an effort to restore the depressed economic conditions of the mining towns that collapsed in 1893, mining towns built a snow-and-ice palace to attract tourists from all over the world. The Ice Palace was opened to visitors on January 1, 1896. It consists of 5,000 tons of ice and 725 cubic meters of wood, covering an area of ​​2 hectares. It is also very practical, with a kitchen, dining room, ballroom, ice rink and many ice sculptures focusing on local specialties. The ice palace was closed on March 28, 1896 and the event was very successful.

In addition to these giant ice and snow art works, chefs and ice craftsmen have provided customers from all over the world with equally exciting, but smaller, more elaborate ice sculptures, which have been around for more than 450 years. In Italy in the late 16th century, people used small ice buckets to make and freeze early ice cream. In the United States, since 1867, Delmonico's began selling American smoothies in restaurants in New York City. In 1892, culinary master Auguste Escoffier directed the kitchen staff at the Savoy Hotel in London to produce the famous “Peach Ice Cream”, which was presented in the form of an ice sculpture swan.
