The fusion of paper-cutting and Winter Olympic elements, what kind of spark will collide, a few days ago, Li Xinzhi, the representative inheritor of Dingzhou paper-cutting, created a series of paper-cutting works of "Welcoming the Winter Olympics" through paper-cutting paintings, which integrated paper-cutting skills with strong patriotism and presented a unique blessing for the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Walking into Li Xinzhi's home, exquisite and dexterous paper-cut works hung on three walls and filled the entire room. Li Xinzhi learned to cut paper on her own when she was less than ten years old, and has been cutting paper for nearly 70 years now. Having trained a good skill, she keeps up with the pace of the times and often combines traditional festivals and national events to create paper-cut and creative works. The ice piers on the wall and the snow melting paper cuts came alive, in order to achieve the effect of "god-like", Li Xinzhi did enough "homework". She carefully pondered the conception and created with her heart and affection, and strived to create the two mascots in a wonderful way. The 2022 Winter Olympics is a world-renowned event, and Li Xinzhi also told us about her creative process.
Nowadays, Li Xinzhi is nearly old, but his eyes are not flowering, his hands are not shaking, and the scissors are everywhere, a vivid paper-cut pattern is presented in front of people's eyes, which makes people marvel. "Skating", "Skiing", "Speed Skating" and other competitions come alive and jump on the paper. Li Xinzhi created with heart and conveyed affection with paper, the opening of the Winter Olympics is imminent, and the series of paper-cutting in the East Olympic Games is still continuing. Li Xinzhi also used the traditional art of paper-cutting to convey his blessings for the Winter Olympics and his love for the motherland.
The small paper cut presents the world and also shows our feelings for the Olympic Games. It is our common wish to use paper cuts to cheer for the Winter Olympics and to use paper cuts to tell the Olympic complex of Chinese. On the basis of inheriting traditional skills, paper-cutting integrates contemporary art elements, which have both traditional charm and fashion beauty, which further highlights the unique charm of traditional Chinese culture.
