Shi Longjiang, 56, a native of Dabailin Village, Yanzhuang Subdistrict, Juxian County, Rizhao City, is also one of the representative inheritors of the municipal intangible cultural heritage project of "Juxian Gate Letter". As the New Year approached, he personally made a set of "Jihu Gate Notes" to imply the auspicious Year of the Tiger and return to the traditional New Year's flavor.
"Passing through the door, falling on the door, falling on the ground is money." Every Spring Festival, every household sticks colorful door notes on door frames and window frames to create a New Year's festival atmosphere to welcome the Spring Festival. In Juxian County, handmade door notes are a traditional folk custom with a deep cultural foundation, and Shi Longjiang has integrated artistic elements such as paper-cutting, calligraphy, and fine arts in the process of passing through the door notes, covering themes such as the twenty-four solar terms and the zodiac signs.
Since 2010, he has produced one set of zodiac door notes every year, and now twelve sets of door notes have been made. This set of "JihuMen Notes" that has just been made means that the Year of the Tiger is auspicious and the four seasons are safe.
From 1980 to 2000, it was the most popular time to make door notes, and every month, almost every household heard the "clanging" sound of wooden mallets, and colored confetti could be seen everywhere. The once lively scene has long ceased to exist, and now only the Shi Longjiang family in the whole village is still adhering to this traditional craft. Shi Longjiang said: "I have been doing this craft for 37 years, even if I don't make money, I am willing to do it. ”
