Because of its easy availability of materials, low cost, immediate effect, wide range of adaptability, various styles, and generally vivid images; It is also suitable for rural women's leisure production, which can be used as practical objects and beautify life. Paper-cutting can be seen all over the country, and even different local styles and genres have been formed.

Paper-cutting not only shows the aesthetic preferences of the masses, but also contains the deep social psychology of the nation, and is also one of the most distinctive folk arts in China, and its modeling characteristics are particularly worthy of study. As the embodiment of China's original philosophy, folk paper-cutting has comprehensive, beautifying and auspicious characteristics in the form of expression, and at the same time, folk paper-cutting uses its own specific expression language to convey the connotation and essence of traditional culture.

On May 20, 2006, the paper-cut art heritage was approved to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list. On June 8, 2007, Shanghai Li Shoubai Paper-cutting Master Studio won the first Cultural Heritage Day Award issued by the Ministry of Culture.

Paper-cutting, also known as paper-cutting, window grilles or cut-outs. The difference is in the creation, some use scissors, some use a carving knife, although the tools are different, but the created works of art are basically the same, people are collectively called paper-cutting.

Paper-cutting is divided into colors, including monochrome paper-cutting and color-matching paper-cutting. The work carved out of a color of paper-cut is called monochrome paper-cut, which is the most commonly used form like monochrome woodcut in printmaking, and this kind of work is very simple and generous. The color paper-cut is a work that can be made with different colors of paper-cut, this form is not commonly used, and this kind of work looks vivid.

When designing, we should pay attention to the existence of yin and yang, and the virtual and the real are born together, and there is no need to pursue too much detail. Paper-cutting is a folk art, the proportion does not need to be too standardized, mainly to express the good wishes of the working people. It is recommended that when designing, refer to some books about the Year of the Woodblock in the Country and get inspiration from their composition.

Paper-cutting generally starts with the central detail and gradually carves to the periphery. When carving details, attention should be paid to making the carving knife perpendicular to the wax plate as much as possible, especially to the vertical wax plate of the knife edge when the knife is closed.

Paper-cutting is the pride of our Chinese people! It is a civilization that we inherit!

Thank you all for taking a bow

Writing ideas: You can write about your own process of the first paper-cutting and the nth paper-cutting, such as picking up scissors and cutting. The white part is to be cut off.

I first poked a small hole in it, and then cut it along the edge, but the scissors did not obey the call, either off-track, or the line was intermittent, etc.

Text: Paper-cutting is the most popular folk art in China, mainly using red paper, which can cut out a variety of patterns. Mom has recently become obsessed with paper-cutting, and I want to try it too.

In fact, the steps are very simple: print a pattern, cover it on a piece of red paper, fix it with a paper clip, and cut it. I thought, nonchalantly: what's so hard about this?

When I was ready, I jumped to the test and picked up the scissors and cut them. The white part is to be cut off. I first poked a small hole in the key, and then cut it along the edge, but the scissors didn't obey the call, either off track, or the line was intermittent.

Several times I only got the white paper, and the red paper was still intact. Looking at what I had cut out, I couldn't help but laugh. Paper-cutting is easier said than done!

When I picked up the scissors for the second time, I looked at the pattern carefully before I started cutting, and finally finished cutting the large part before I studied the small pieces. I poked it cautiously, turning the paper and my head bobbing. Finally, a small round piece was cut out.

Looking at the large and small discs, I took a deep breath, and as soon as I relaxed, I didn't expect a crisp sound of "pop", and I actually picked off the paper.

For the nth time, I was relieved to look at the beautiful paper-cut work in my hand. After practicing for so long, it finally paid off! I gently flattened it with a book, and a sense of accomplishment suddenly welled up in my heart: my efforts were not in vain!

Paper-cutting has brought me a lot of fun and I have enjoyed success in the process!

Thoughts on learning about paper-cutting.

Folk art is a very important part of the splendid cultural treasure house of the motherland. Paper-cutting occupies a very prominent position in folk art, it is a bright and dazzling artistic wonder, is the crystallization of wisdom and precious relics of the Chinese nation.

In this semester's art class, I was deeply attracted by the art of paper-cutting. At first, the art teacher asked us to practice with scratch paper, and at that time we would only cut a simple "flower" and "double happiness". Despite the simplicity of the style, I felt a sense of accomplishment.

Because before that, I didn't have strong hands-on ability, and I encountered many problems when cutting paper, such as: I don't know whether to cut from the opening or the seal, I don't know how to draw, and I don't know where the connection point is. But the teacher taught me hand-in-hand and patiently explained to me, so when I cut out the work, the moment I slowly moved, a sense of joy arose.

Not only that, but after that, the teacher also provided us with more complex and beautiful paper-cut patterns, and transitioned from cutting sketch paper to cutting with various colors of paper, after many practice attempts, I have been able to cut out a lot of complex and beautiful paper-cut patterns. In order to master the technique of paper-cutting, I have summarized a few experiences by myself:

1. Copy more, cut more, and you can realize the way out.

2. Find a monochrome painting you like and add some connections.

3. Practice a topic repeatedly, practice makes perfect.

4. For beginners, practice Yin carving first.

For example, first draw the shape you like to image, and then use the traditional paper-cutting language (dots, spindles, dovetails, zigzags, etc.) to cut out the pattern.

5. As for the use of yin carving and yang carving in the creative process, it all depends on personal understanding.

This paper-cutting not only exercised my hands-on ability, but also made me feel the charm of art and influence. Paper-cutting is a thing that needs to be treated with a serene state of mind, and happiness can only be obtained if you put your heart and soul into it.

I learned about an old paper-cutting artist, his name is Guan Yunde.

He had a pair of magical hands, which were large, rough, calloused hands, and the middle finger of his right hand had a section amputated because of an accident working in the mountains. When Guan Yunde stretched out his hands to the people at the scene, who could have imagined that such a pair of rough calloused hands could cut out exquisite paper-cuts that blended with cultural meaning.

At the moment of injury, Guan Yunde thought that he would never be able to cut paper again, and he was very sad. Later, he found that the injuries did not hinder his beloved at all, and he was full of pride in his hands.

Nine foreign scholars have visited their hometowns....Guan Yunde was informed and asked to bring the paper-cut as a souvenir to the foreign scholar. At that time, when Guan Yunde had just returned from the field, his pants were torn, his knees were exposed, and there was mud. At that time, Guan Yunde didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he rode there.

After listening to the introduction of the translator, the nine foreign scholars could not believe that the paper-cut was cut by a big man, not a little daughter-in-law or a little girl. The foreign scholar was surprised to hold Guan Yunde's two hands, holding the delicate paper-cuts, and took a group photo. At that moment, Guan Yunde really felt moved.

I really want to say:"Those magical hands have created the essence of the whole art, and what has been left behind is the treasure of Chinese art

People in the countryside have always liked paper-cutting, but now no one has learned it. Out of his instinctive love for national culture, Lao Guan wants to use paper-cutting to spread the national culture that is increasingly neglected by many people.

Guan Yunde's skills are family heirlooms, and his sons and grandsons can do it now. "Because there is this atmosphere in the house, it is natural. The National Paper-cutting Exhibition is attended every year. His son and grandson have won awards. ”

They are farmers who speak simple words and have a natural smile, and they are some of the most simple folk artists who come out of the mountains and fields. They have the thinning cultural blood of a nation, which has been watered with the richness and splendor of the entire Chinese nation.

They came, with such simple and easily satisfied wishes and ideals, on the road of national cultural inheritance, walking with difficulty. There is no reason to ignore them, no reason to reject the responsibility that should have been there.

For the future of a nation including ourselves, and for the bright future of the rebirth of an immortal cultural group, we must work with them to take the initiative and be optimistic to face the dream of a common national culture and colorful diversity.

The glory of a nation can only come from the inheritance of traditional culture by this nation, and more importantly, from the courage to keep pace with the times. Our culture is modernizing, but the traditional culture that once nourished the glorious history of the entire nation is being lost at a rate we cannot imagine.

This loss has formed the determination to save from the heartache of endangerment, and the determination to sigh.

Thank you, thank you to him, with a pair of industrious hands, to save the art that we are always worried about. Thank you

It can make us become ingenious, patient, and have a stronger and stronger sensitivity to art, and it is a way to carry forward the ancient traditional culture, and it can indirectly express our inner emotions, which is different from shouting, writing a diary, etc.

Learning to cut paperWhenever I see a paper-cutting artist waving scissors on a piece of paper to create a lifelike work, I can't help but be amazed. However, the paper-cutting technique that artists are so good at is a complicated and technically difficult thing for me.

Today, we're going to finish a cut-out piece. The teacher said, I was stunned for a moment, the difficult paper-cutting, to be completed in a short class, isn't it more difficult than climbing to the sky?

However, my idea was very wrong, and after the teacher's explanation and demonstration of paper-cutting, I suddenly realized that it was easy to complete a paper-cutting. Most of the cutouts are axisymmetrical, and they only need to be "flying" a quarter or even an eighth of a pattern with scissors to show it neatly in front of our eyes.

Just talk about it, don't practice fake tricks. "I can't just talk about it. I was impatient to start "acting".

I sketched half a butterfly on paper and then carefully "lived" it with scissors. But the butterfly was still lifeless, without the slightest bit of vitality.

I decided to embellish it on its wings. I cut a pattern around the edge of the butterfly's wings. Unexpectedly, when I was cutting, I accidentally cut the edges, leaving a dazzling "scar", so I used a little tape to help it "heal".

Still, the "scar" is clearly visible. I "put on makeup" for the butterflies more carefully.

Soon, "dressed up" and energetic butterflies "appeared" in front of my eyes. See! The beautiful and delicate lace seems to dress the butterfly in a new dress. The pearl-like dots seem to put on beautiful jewelry for butterflies and dance in the air.

Through this paper-cutting experience, I learned that you have to try everything, and what you think is difficult may become very simple as long as you try and master the skills.

Looking at the beautiful window grille, I smiled happily.

Today was a handicraft class, and the teacher asked us to bring a few pieces of wax paper and a pair of scissors.

The teacher demonstrated first, she brought a piece of wax paper, "brush, brush" scissors on the paper quickly "walked", and after a while, a butterfly appeared in front of my eyes. "Wow! It's so beautiful, it turns out that cutting window grilles is so easy. ”

I excitedly pulled out a piece of pink paper and began to cut it. Composition.

I cut a love peach in the center of the paper, "This love peach is too big, clumsy, and not good enough." The teacher said. It turns out that paper-cutting seems easy, but it is also difficult to cut well.

I took another piece of paper. At the center point, another love peach was cut. Well, the teacher nodded in satisfaction. Wow, it worked! I carefully cut four butterflies next to it, and cut some small flowers in the rest of the place. Composition.

It's so pretty! I screamed excitedly! The teacher glued my window grille to the window, and the window seemed to be wearing a colorful dress, which was so beautiful!

Point out that the best thing is paper-cutting Brief introduction: How to practice the good at paper-cutting Write specifically: Follow the master where to go and where to cut the interesting story.

In my life, I have indeed seen many pieces of paper-cut art, and some of these works have left a deep impression on me.

First of all, the art of decoupage is characterized by its ability to use simple lines and shapes to express vivid, graphic themes. These themes can be animals, people, plants, landscapes, etc., or a variety of symbols and patterns with cultural, historical, or emotional significance. Through the exquisite art of paper-cutting, the artists are able to transform ordinary paper into works of art full of vitality and rhythm.

Secondly, the art of decoupage gives people a unique feeling visually. Paper-cut works often show bright colors and fine textures, especially under the reflection of light, the folding, turning and shadow effects of the paper are more prominent, making people feel a unique sense of three-dimensionality and realism.

In addition, the art of paper-cutting also has a strong cultural significance. In traditional Chinese culture, paper-cutting is regarded as a symbol of blessings and prayers, and is often used to celebrate festivals, weddings, birthdays, and other occasions. For example, during the Spring Festival, people will paste red paper-cut works at home, implying the arrival of the new year and wishes for happiness.

In general, the art of paper-cutting is a handicraft art full of charm and cultural connotations, which is not only capable of creating beautiful works of art, but also has the effect of blessings and prayers.
