Feasibility analysis on productive protection of folk paper-cutting and carving in Yueqing
On the one hand, living rheology is one of the most important characteristics of intangible cultural heritage, especially traditional handicrafts. Surviving and developing in production practice and realizing their functions are the basis of their existence. As an intangible cultural heritage, folk paper-cutting has utilitarian and active characteristics, and there is a close connection between the two. Utility determines its liveliness, which is the process of folk paper-cutting adapting to the environment and gradually rationalizing and legalizing. The essence of this process is to maximize the utilitarianism. Therefore, in order for paper-cutting to survive in a living state, it is necessary to ensure that the utilitarian nature of paper-cutting can be successfully realized.
With the changes of the times, the functional status of paper-cutting has undergone profound changes. Its practical and symbolic characteristics are gradually declining, while its decorative and entertainment functions have become more important. The change in utilitarian connotation will inevitably lead to a change in its state of existence. More and more paper-cuts have transformed from womens nemesis and artists craft foundation into folk art and tourist souvenirs that have entered the market system. Productive protection is in line with the changing trend of folk paper-cutting craftsmanship. The paper-cutting art that has entered or is about to enter the market will be incorporated into a more scientific and systematic system to help folk paper-cutting obtain a greater degree of value release in the rheological process. Development provides more effective resource conditions.
On the other hand, with the development of globalization and informatization, the world is entering a post-industrial economic society, facing a comprehensive social and economic transformation, and the dominant factors driving economic growth have undergone structural changes. Culture and human creativity are increasingly valued by people, and facts have proven that their contribution to economic development is also increasing. Traditional crafts and intangible cultural heritage with "cultural differences" are facing a situation of transforming from traditional resources to creative assets. The core skills and cultural connotations of folk paper-cutting, as a cultural resource, should be valued and released.
Entering the modern market system and taking the road of commercialization will help it tap and expand value energy, so that it not only provides a driving force for its own survival and development, but also contributes to Chinas non-material economic development. The truth also comes to meThey have proved that the industrialization of paper-cutting in some areas has developed smoothly. For example, Yu County, Hebei Province, known as the "Hometown of Chinese Paper-cutting Art", has 96 administrative villages in 16 towns and villages engaged in the paper-cutting industry, including 1,100 households specializing in paper-cutting. , employing 21,000 people, with an annual output of 3 million sets of paper-cuts and an annual income of 30 million yuan, becoming one of the countys pillar industries.
The success of Yu County is due to, first, the cultural charm of folk paper-cutting itself, which has a natural and inseparable flesh-and-blood relationship with the Chinese people; second, Yu County has already begun to survive, spread and spread in the market in history. Inheritance and development, its entry into the modern market has become the only choice for paper-cut artists and provides a driving force for their survival and development. Due to the differences in the economic and social development of various regions in China, current productive protection does not apply to paper-cut window grilles in all regions, especially in some regions with underdeveloped economies that do not have the ability to enter industrial production. However, in Wenzhou, an economically developed coastal area, Yueqing fine-grained paper is fully capable of industrialization, so it is completely feasible to protect it productively. Of course, we must first establish effective evaluation, monitoring, standardization and other management mechanisms.
In order to ensure that the mainstream engraved paper products still retain their cultural connotations and characteristics and are not over-exploited or abused to cause mutation, local governments and cultural institutions must shoulder the responsibility of effective supervision and formulate corresponding normative mechanisms. to restrain excessive development behavior. Second, we must actively seek space for the survival and development of fine-grained paper in the context of the new era. We cannot blindly separate the relationship between cultural heritage and its ecological environment and the culture as a whole for the sake of immediate interests. At the same time, when paper engraving artists choose and create according to their own conditions, they need professionals to consult them, so that they can grasp the scale of authenticity and innovation, reference and plagiarism. For example, the conscious inheritance of the richness of traditional themes has obviously not attracted enough attention; the different consumer demands of urban and rural markets obviously still need to be studied in depth, and a series of other issues. In addition, a comprehensive capital planning system and a structured income distribution system should be established to ensure that the profit distribution after marketization must meet the needs of the inheritance and development of fine-grained paper. In particular, the lives of some paper engraving artists who are in the learning period are still very poor. Only when the profits created by the industrialization of engraving paper can improve their lives can they have the energy to invest in the innovative development of paper engraving. .
