Taste the intangible cultural heritage, culture over the New Year, together into the Huangling Intangible Cultural Heritage in the New Year.
Older people may remember that in the old New Year, it was indispensable to decorate objects such as bowl racks, or fresh colored paper, or elaborate smoked paintings, and the smoke and fire were full of longings for a new life.
Huangling smoked painting is not only a symbol of the beauty of people's lives, but also a county-level intangible cultural heritage project in Huangling County. Smoked painting is a folk art form derived from paper-cutting, which was used by people to decorate urn racks and bowl racks in the old days, so it is also called "Ban Yun Zi" and "Ban Yin Zi". The production process of smoking painting is quite complicated, called "smoking board cloud" or "smoking board shade", the cut pattern and trim are covered on the selected board shade paper, and the thick smoke emitted by pine seeds and kerosene lamps is used to make a black and white contrast replica that is consistent with the original paper cut. The development of smoked painting and paper-cutting is in the same vein, and the pattern content includes flowers, birds, fish and insects, animal flowers, gold mountains and silver mountains, and auspicious ornaments, with a strong local atmosphere.
Nowadays, with the improvement of people's living standards, rural bowl racks and other living utensils have gradually disappeared, so the art of smoking painting and people's lives are gradually drifting away, but what remains unchanged is people's hopes for a better life in every welcome season.
