During the Spring Festival of the Year of the Tiger, we have a group of craftsmen who are uniquely "screaming" and integrate traditional elements such as tiger head shoes, hangings, and paper carvings into the New Year and Winter Olympics. Let's take a look at who they are:
01, "post-80s" Zhao Xing from the elderly
The Year of the Tiger has arrived, and the auspicious tiger head shoes have become a popular new favorite. Zhao Xing, an 80-year-old villager in Zhaizi Village, an old town in our city, made children's tiger head shoes from handmade, with novel patterns, exquisite materials, delicate stitching, and vivid life, which is very cute.
As soon as the ingenious Zhao Xingxing had time, he would pick up needles and threads to sew tiger head shoes. When necessary, she would also "shout" her "old buddy" - a peony brand sewing machine bought more than 50 years ago to "help".
Zhao Xingcong, a self-taught and skilled artist, does not even need to sketch a pattern on the fabric in advance, and can embroider exquisite patterns according to feeling. Big eyes, round ears, upturned tail... In the homes of the elderly, cute and cute tiger head shoes can be seen everywhere.

Tigers are a symbol of exorcism and disaster avoidance, peace and auspiciousness, and the tiger head shoes that are named because of the shape of the toe of the tiger are the memories of many people when they were young. What makes Zhao Xingcong happy is that her granddaughter is very interested in her rare "old craft", and the old man also intends to teach her more and let her become his "heir".
02, traditional hanging maker Tang Jianheng
Hanging is a traditional New Year hanging ornament in Xinji, with dignified and colorful colors, simple and generous shapes, fresh and chic, elegant and popular. Walking into the home of Tang Jianheng, a villager in Liuzhang Village, the colorful hanging and fiery couplets are exactly the craftsman's understanding of Nian Wei'er.
Here, every household during the Spring Festival not only has to paste window flowers and couplets, but also hang them. The Spring Festival is approaching, it is the busiest time for Tang Jianheng, he repeats the production process of hanging every day: origami, alum, dyeing, drying, cutting, sticking tail... The traditional hanging is mainly based on pink, yellow, green, blue and purple five colors of printing and dyeing, and each hanging looks the same, but there are differences.
Nowadays, the diversified market demand has brought a certain impact on the traditional paper hanging, but in the hearts of the older generation, it is still an indispensable part of the New Year.
Tang Jianheng said: "I hope that young people like our old craft, and now there are fewer and fewer traditional hangings, but I think only this colorful freshness can reflect the taste of the year!" ”
03. Paper carving artist Hu Zhiyong
During the Beijing Winter Olympics, Hu Zhiyong, a paper carving artist in our city, used a piece of colored paper and a carving knife to make a 6-meter-long paper carving work "Beijing Winter Olympics" to express his expectations and blessings for the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Hu Zhiyong has loved painting, calligraphy and paper-cutting since childhood, and later actively innovated and pioneered the art of realistic paper carving. In order to make the characters in the "Beijing Winter Olympics" have both gods and forms, Hu Zhiyong collected images and materials extensively on the Internet, carefully captured the form of each character, and first designed the knife plan in his mind, and then began to carve.
In the production, he innovated the engraving method, using chromatic methods to make the characters and logos more three-dimensional on the paper carving long scroll. At the same time, in order to achieve better results in the work, every detail has been modified countless times by him, and finally a different ice and snow world is displayed on the long scroll.
Hu Zhiyong said: "This paper carving art is a first for me, and I hope that this art can be carried forward and developed, and I will take my paper carving work as a love to publicize the Beijing Winter Olympics." ”
