Li Yuezhen, female, nicknamed Yuewa, was born in February 1925 in a peasant family in xiamiao, Yuanhua County, and loved folk arts such as painting, paper-cutting, embroidery, and noodle flowers from an early age, and enjoyed the reputation of "skillful hands" in the local area.

She was the vice president of Huaxian Paper-cutting Association, a member of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, a member of the China Elderly Calligraphy and Painting Association, and a member of the Art Committee of the Editorial Department of Chinese Elderly Calligraphy and Painting. Her paper-cutting and noodle flowers have won many awards from the middle, provincial, prefectural and county. Now nearly 100 years old, he is physically disabled and still loves ancient folk art.

In 1998, with the support of the Huaxian Cultural Center, 2,000 copies of "Li Yuezhen Paper-cutting" were printed. In 1999, Li Yuezhen's paper-cut works won the Excellence Award of the Shaanxi Provincial Elderly Cultural and Sports Competition, in 2001, he was selected by the Weinan Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, and in 2001, the paper-cutting fruit won the Excellence Award of the Shaanxi Provincial Elderly Calligraphy and Painting Competition, in 2010, the paper-cut "Tiger" won the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Culture, the Representative Work Award of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity of the Cultural Heritage Protection Center of the China Intangible Cultural Heritage Institute, and when Hong Kong returned, her work "The Return of Kowloon" won the first prize. CCTV, provincial, municipal and county television stations have broadcast her programs many times. From 2011 to 2012, the opening scene of Weinan TV station was Li Yuezhen using paper cuts to paste window flowers. Her paper-cut works won the gold medal of the National Poetry, Calligraphy and Painting Contest for the Elderly by the Department of Social And Cultural Affairs of the Ministry of Culture.

In the 1990s, one year during the Spring Festival, the leaders of the Weinan Municipal Government pointed out to the county leaders that Li Yuezhen's paper-cut paper be made into a greeting card and sent to the provincial leaders. They believe that paper-cutting is a folk art and should be passed on for publicity.

When Li Yuezhen lived in Guo Xiumei, her sister who taught at Northwest University, she laid out her paper-cut works on the ground without any trouble, which attracted the attention of many people, and a young man with a very cultural background collected each of her paper-cut samples. The leader of the art department of a university in Xi'an invited her mother to give a lecture to the students, and also held an exhibition of Li Yuezhen's paper-cutting.

Li Yuezhen is now 98 years old, the femoral head of the left leg and the right leg have been fractured, and although it is inconvenient to walk, she still insists on cutting paper. Although he is older and his works are not as elaborate as before, they are still very popular.

Yuezhen Li Da Niang, strong paper-cutting skills;

Eighty years, long years;

Hold a handful of scissors in your hand and arrange a few sheets of paper;

Cut and cut, everything is alive.

Tiger mountain stream jump, Jiaolong seabed hidden;

Yellow orioles fight for warm branches, and phoenixes spread their wings;

Monkeys offer spring peaches, mice marry women busy;

Highland flying horses, meadows to see cattle and sheep;

Cuckoo reported three summers, and the show girl was busy getting out of bed;

A thousand branches of plums, a hundred flowers in the wilderness.

Performing in Kyoto, The Grand Hall of the Receiving Award;

Life is about dedication, how big and small;

How many princes and princes, behind the death of the woman;

Hua Tuo has no platform position, and Chao Yu is all over the family gang;

Song Lei Feng through the ages, passing on the auspiciousness of the times;

Ordinary out of greatness, commoners play a magnificent chapter.

In the midsummer of the Year of the Dragon, Li Yuezhen's eldest daughter
