Paper-cutting is not only a symbol of the traditional culture of the mainland, but also a cultural treasure of the Chinese nation and an intangible cultural heritage of humanity. In order to enrich the spiritual and cultural life of residents, carry forward the excellent traditional culture, and cultivate and develop residents' interests and hobbies, on April 19, the paper-cutting intangible cultural heritage experience of Songguantun Street Cultural Station entered the Songguantun community to carry out intangible cultural heritage paper-cutting activities.
At the event site, the Dezhou Volunteer Service Federation invited the paper-cutting teacher to show the residents a beautiful and vivid paper-cut art works, from the allegorical use of paper-cutting, to the characteristics of paper-cutting culture, and patiently explained the traditional culture and art of paper-cutting to the residents. The residents listened with relish and enjoyed it.
Immediately afterwards, the teacher gave everyone an understanding of the use and precautions of woodcarving knives, and distributed the printed "dragon" pattern and carving knives to everyone. Subsequently, everyone followed the teacher's explanation and hands-on practice. Teachers teach by hand and remind residents of the details they need to pay attention to. In the process, everyone felt the unique charm of the art of carving knife paper-cutting and immersed themselves in the pleasant atmosphere of paper-cutting. Soon a vivid work was born, and when I saw my carefully cut out works, everyone had a happy smile on their faces, and a sense of accomplishment arose.
"When I was a child, I used scissors to cut and play, window flowers, happy words or something, like this kind of intangible cultural heritage knife carving paper-cut is the first contact, directly depicting this exquisite pattern is so beautiful. Thanks to the community for organizing this activity, let us also experience the charm of intangible cultural heritage!" Aunt Zhao said happily with her results.
