A pair of scissors, a stack of red paper, a red heart. On the 22nd, at the New Era Civilization Practice Institute in The Street of North Daobei Road in the Old Town of Luoyang City, Fu Chengbin, a paper-cutting teacher, was giving residents a paper-cutting intangible cultural heritage lesson.
In the classroom, Fu Chengbin showed his paper-cutting works for everyone and popularized the paper-cutting culture. "This work is a call for timely COVID-19 vaccination." Fu Chengbin said that once, he was vaccinated against the new crown in the community health center and was touched by the spirit of medical staff who worked tirelessly to serve everyone. After recording the busy moments of the medical staff on his mobile phone, he created and completed the work overnight.
"I want to tell the 'Lei Feng Story of the New Era' to the residents, and I want to pass on the spirit of Lei Feng to more people through paper cutting." Fu Chengbin said.
Origami, paper-cutting... At the scene, everyone listened to the explanation and cut out a series of exquisite works, and said that the intangible cultural heritage class was full of "cultural flavor" and learned a lot of knowledge.
How can a small intangible cultural heritage classroom become a "gas station" for residents' cultural life?
It turned out that 5 years ago, the street of Daobei Road held an exhibition of cultural works in the building, and everyone was attracted by the exquisite paper-cut works. This scene was captured by attentive community workers. Therefore, on the basis of the existing dance teams, singing teams, tai chi teams, aerobics teams and other cultural and entertainment teams, the community has issued a recruitment notice to open free paper-cutting training classes to promote the art of paper-cutting, promote traditional culture, and enrich the lives of residents.
After continuous enrichment, the paper-cutting training class has now been "upgraded" to an intangible cultural heritage class. Here, residents of the jurisdiction can feel the unique artistic charm of intangible cultural heritage items such as face sculpture, paper cutting, and ceramic sculpture. "The intangible cultural heritage class allows residents to understand the intangible cultural heritage, contact the intangible cultural heritage, and feel the intangible cultural heritage, and promotes the protection and inheritance of the intangible cultural heritage." Wang Rui, a volunteer involved in the activity, said.
Colorful classrooms also allow the "seeds" of civilization to blossom. Volunteer Li Xiangyu introduced that during the epidemic prevention and control period, many residents have joined the volunteer team and continued to write the "Lei Feng Story" with actions. Some send ginger soup to volunteers standing guard in the cold wind, some send daily necessities for the elderly living alone, and some merchants send love meals for medical staff for free...
"Cut a story by paper, and skillfully cut paper to praise 'Lei Feng'." The relevant person in charge of the New Era Civilization Practice Institute in the street of North Daobei Road in the old town of Luoyang City said that since the establishment of the New Era Civilization Practice Institute, many residents have come to "check in", dance and play chess, read books and newspapers, and learn skills... Through cultural empowerment, not only do residents live a rich and fulfilling life, but also let the "seeds" of civilization blossom in the community.
