The girl who gave away the "Fuhu" New Year painting in the video is Liu Zhongping from the kung fu city of Foshan, who began to learn to make woodblock prints in 2014 and is the first batch of representative inheritors of the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage Foshan woodblock prints at the municipal level. Because he often takes his works to promote the story of New Year paintings everywhere, he has the taste of walking in the rivers and lakes, so the jianghu people call them - The New Year Painting Woman.
"The door god should be right, and there will be good luck next year." In the Lingnan region of Guangdong, the New Year paintings are very exquisite, and they also carry the emotions and stories of each person or family.
In the Spring Festival of 2017, Liu Zhongping held a New Year painting exhibition in Macao, and there were pairs of fathers and sons who came every day, and when they asked, they knew that they were entrusted by the elderly at home to "take a look at the appearance of the 'door god' in the memory of the middle-aged paintings" to send homesickness. This incident made Liu Zhongping feel that the New Year paintings have not been forgotten and are still engraved in the memories of many people.
Therefore, Liu Zhongping, through continuous innovation, let the New Year paintings be displayed to today's young people in a traditional and trendy appearance. In order to regulate the small emotions in modern people's lives, Liu Zhongping founded the "Worry Relief New Year Painting Shop" brand, creating anti-emo (sad and troublesome) new New Year paintings such as "going to bed early and getting up early" and "anti-baldness artifact", she said: "When everyone emo can give everyone a boost."
Liu Zhongping's innovative New Year paintings
People often come with wishes, and Liu Zhongping expresses their wishes in New Year paintings, so that their beautiful expectations for life can find sustenance in one New Year painting after another. An art student who has attended Liu Zhongping's New Year painting class hopes to join the team of New Year painting creation after graduation, and Liu Zhongping's love for New Year painting is accumulated little by little in these warm feedback.
"The best inheritance of New Year paintings and the best museum are in everyone's home," Liu Zhongping felt, "every stage of life needs to be encouraged, reminded, and guarded." She believes, "Being a craftsman is a very happy and fulfilling thing, although it is difficult." In the future, Liu Zhongping will continue to inherit woodblock Prints "like a heroine" to make daily life more powerful and better.
