(2) Expressing contemporary themes that keep pace with the times
Zhangpu paper-cutting mostly reflects folk customs and expresses the yearning and pursuit of a happy life; with the help of auspicious animals, it expresses the interest of life, eulogizes labor, and praises the harvest as themes: Puchengs "Flower-cutting Woman" cuts cordyceps patterns and doll patterns. , mythological patterns, story patterns, word combination patterns, family affairs patterns, pig and sheep patterns, utensil patterns, etc.; Zherong folk paper-cut works of animals, utensils, pottery pots, flowers, ancient characters, legends, etc.; the themes vary from place to place. The same, but as an art form that can be enjoyed by both refined and popular people, it can be used in the development of every era.To display different themes, any artwork will innovate and develop in content with the development of the times. Art should follow the times. Every artist must feel the atmosphere of the times he lives in, depict and celebrate the customs and customs of the times he lives in, and truly advance with the times. For example, in Nanping, as a mainlander, every author can find some themes of his own expression. , and the paper-cutting of Zhangpu will also be different from other areas in terms of subject matter. In old revolutionary areas such as Gutian, the subject matter can be vigorously chosen to express red and revolutionary history, etc. Art needs to reflect the times, and art needs The age of service. Folk paper-cutting is of course no exception. Don't blindly inherit it according to the pattern of your ancestors. If it remains unchanged for thousands of years and lacks new ideas, it will definitely be eliminated by the times. Under the guidance of the policy of "Let a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend", we must use the art of paper-cutting to record life and express peoples beautiful dreams. Folk paper-cutting must boldly absorb new content and new concepts.
(3) Real-time updating and use of modern materials
Since paper-cutting is a kind of hollow art, the original material is mainly paper. Although many people will be very interested in learning paper-cutting in the early stage, due to the certain limitations of paper texture, Our beginners can easily destroy the paper-cut works during the production process, suffer frustration, and easily lose interest, which is not conducive to the promotion and development of paper-cut art. In fact, the limitations of traditional materials have limited paper-cutting. Therefore, in the expression technique of paper-cutting, it is necessary to break through the limitations of traditional materials and tools, and boldly try to diversify the use of materials. Any material that can be cut and carved can be used together. At the same time, the auxiliary tools for design and production can also be relaxed, such as using computers. With the development of society and the advancement of science and technology, many new materials have emerged, and many modern materials have been used, so that people who are interested in learning paper-cutting can continue to learn and gain a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in paper-cutting, and at the same time It allows the masters of paper-cutting to try new things and always maintain the spirit of innovation. Their attempts on a variety of new carriers also play a role in promoting the development of new materials in the future.
In todays society, paper-cutting art not only still exists as a cultural and artistic form, but also serves as a complementary mechanism to high technology, balancing peoples spiritual and psychological endurance. The art of paper-cutting can be better developed from the use of materials and expression of themes and the application of new processes and technologies. I hope that paper-cutting in various places can retain its own characteristics, comprehensively develop its own paper-cutting art, and contribute to the prosperity of Fujian folk paper-cutting art. further.
