Ji Yulan, the inheritor of intangible cultural heritage paper-cutting in Shanshan County, Xinjiang, created a number of "tiger" paper-cut works that symbolize auspiciousness and happiness, welcoming the arrival of the New Year of the Tiger.
When I came to Ji Yulan's studio, a festive red color came into view. There are already more than a dozen of her "Tiger" series works on the walls and tables. The little tigers in the paper-cut works either crawl, stretch their waists, or snooze, round and rolling, and are cute. Ji Yulan held scissors in her right hand, colored paper in her left hand, and her wrist danced lightly, and after a moment, tiger images such as the festive and auspicious Tiggo, the brave and courageous Tiger, and the cute tiger baby jumped on the paper. The lifelike and different forms of "tigers" add a festive "Chinese red" to the interior. Some of the window flower works also integrate images such as tigers into them, implying family harmony and a better life.

In the color cut series, I also integrated the grapes and flame mountains of Turpan into my paper-cutting elements, which also means that our Year of the Tiger is red and hot, and I wish everyone a prosperous tiger in the Year of the Tiger.
The colorful paper-cut works of "Xinjiang Tiger Welcoming the New Year" with the theme of tigers have been completed more than ten times, and will be exhibited after all of them are completed. At the same time, Ji Yulan also combines the Spring Festival customs and integrates fashionable modern elements, making the tiger paper-cutting more beautiful and three-dimensional, adding a strong New Year's flavor.

This embodiment shows the cultural materials of Turpan, and there is also a mighty and joyful, peaceful New Year flavor.
All along, Ji Yulan has been deeply influenced by the local culture of Turpan, and has immersed the local customs and customs into the paper-cutting. Her classic works "Grape Doll" series, "Xinjiang Guli" series, "Xinjiang Xiaobalang" series, etc. integrate elements such as grapes, drying rooms, and Loulan girls into paper-cutting works, forming a unique characteristic of paper-cutting art. With her exquisite paper-cutting skills, Ji Yulan has attracted many paper-cutting enthusiasts to come to learn and record a better life with paper-cutting.

I will combine the traditional art of paper-cutting with modern design to better understand and feel the charm of traditional Chinese culture.
In the inheritance of paper-cutting skills is not only a cultural inheritance, but also a spiritual inheritance, but also the inheritance of our ideas as craftsmen. I will make good use of the scissors in my hand and continue to carry forward the art of paper cutting.
