Modern Express News (reporter Wang Yi) online can not be grabbed, offline sales out of stock, many people still do not have the "Winter Olympic top stream" CP ice piers and snow melting. Many netizens have opened fancy self-made mounds, ice sculptures, leaf carvings, flower lanterns... Some folk craftsmen have also made a variety of styles of ice piers and snow melting. On February 10, Chen Yao, a master of arts and crafts in Nanjing and a non-hereditary inheritor, used a pair of scissors to make a paper-cut version of the ice pier, snow rongrong, and the main torch of the Winter Olympics in the shape of snowflakes.

In chen Yao's winter Olympic paper cut, the ice pier with the body of the giant panda has the iconic "black circles", and a pair of large round eyes are shining. Taking off the transparent spacesuit, he wore a big red jacket, similar to the plush doll released in the Chinese New Year Limited Edition, which was festive and cute. The circle formed by the circle of ice ribbon around the head is iconic and eye-catching. The ice pier pedals skis with two feet and snow braces in both hands, and the wind down the slopes, stirring up snowflakes flying on its side. The classical auspicious cloud pattern behind it represents the clouds at the top of the mountain. It can be noted that there are six snowflakes floating next to the ice pier, each snowflake is hexagonal, but each has a different shape.
In contrast, the snow that was originally red and the paper cut are more suitable. In the paper cut, Xue Rongrong squatted on the snowboard, the center of gravity was downward, it seemed to be doing a skillful action, and the next second it seemed to jump up. Scissors were also used to cut out the shape of a snow wave on the skateboard. Behind the snow melts behind the Great Wall, and there are snowflakes, pine trees, auspicious clouds and other elements in the background.
In addition to these two cute mascots, Chen Yao also created a paper cut featuring the main torch at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics. "The opening ceremony of this Winter Olympics was very stunning and impressed me. Recently, many netizens have been making their own ice piers, snow melting, and there are many masters involved, but it seems that no one has made a thing for our main torch. The snowflake shape of the main torch is a performance element that often appears in the traditional paper-cutting. How do you make this common thing special? Chen Yao introduced that the technique he used in the north is called "pushing and grinding", which means that the pattern under the knife goes in one direction, and the pattern cut out is the same, but it is not axisymmetric, and it is rotating on closer inspection. "It's a folk paper-cutting technique that's on the verge of being lost." He only learned it last year after years of exploration and research from another paper-cutting master.
