The road to protecting folk paper-cutting in Yu County
The folk art of Yu County paper-cutting is a concrete manifestation of the diversity of Chinese national culture and the crystallization of the wisdom of the vast number of folk artists in Yu County. It reflects the material and spiritual needs of the development of a certain era. The shapes with beautiful meanings, rich and warm colors, rich and diverse decorative themes and systematic craft procedures fully reflect the creativity and imagination of paper-cut artists of the past dynasties, and have precious artistic and aesthetic values.
For the protection of Yuxian paper-cutting, unilateral efforts alone are not enough. Government departments, academia, civil society and ordinary people should all make their own efforts in their respective fields. Regarding the future development of paper-cutting in Yu County, we put forward this suggestion: In the future industrial development process of paper-cutting art in Yu County, in terms of product creation, in addition to adhering to the purpose of "paper-cutting comes from the folk and is applied to the folk", the development should be closely related to the lives of ordinary people. In addition to the related traditional Yuxian paper-cutting (window grilles), it is also necessary to form a professional R&D team to improve the industrialization research and market research of paper-cutting art, continue to develop high-end modern paper-cutting craftsmanship, and develop and develop classic series of products and appreciation. Paper-cut treasures with collection value are integrated to meet the batch demand for high-end paper-cut products in domestic and foreign markets. According to the classification level of the art market, we serve the high, medium and low market respectively and serve the target groups, covering all consumption levels. . It is necessary to establish a complete set of production-circulation-consumption system, value appreciation system, communication and promotion system, market segmentation system, legal protection system and population structure system to form an industrial chain. In addition, we try to break into the cutting-edge fashion urban market and explore ways to survive in the urbanization of paper-cutting art. Only in this way can the cultural lifeline of our nations development be preserved, the national spirit be carried forward, and the nations innovation ability be improved.
