Rock paintings are ancient paintings painted on rocks. For example, rock paintings reflecting the early Hezhe nationality are preserved on the rocks of Sakak-A Liang village along the Heilongjiang River. One of the paintings, with fire, snake and sun, is a masterpiece of primitive religious art and a true record of the spiritual life of ancient Hezhe ancestors. There are also rock paintings depicting hunting scenes, in which people, galloping horses and animals are vividly painted and very moving.
Pattern art is the most developed plastic art of Hezhe nationality. The clothes, shoes, hats and bedding used by people in their early years are all painted with various patterns, especially the patterns on the clothes of women and children in China are even more colorful. Some use cloth pieces, brazed skins or dyed animal skins of various colors to cut into various equal parts, and then piece together symmetrical geometric patterns, moire patterns, fish scales and wavy patterns; Some use colored lines to create various moire patterns, such as flowers, butterflies, small animals and so on. Hezhe people like to use these artworks to make bedding, cushions, women's clothes and children's clothes, which are both strong and beautiful.
