The current situation and future of Chinese folk paper-cutting
Chinese folk paper-cutting art is an ode to the working peoples love for life, love for life, and love for peace. It is the creation and publicity of the individuality of the Chinese folk paper-cutting author. Because it is restricted by the aesthetic consciousness of the group and the functional value of the Chinese folk paper-cutting art, at this level, it is the creation of the working peoples group. For any author, once his work breaks through the constraints of these two aspects, his work may not belong to the category of Chinese folk paper-cut art. It is precisely the form of Chinese folk paper-cut art that can adapt and interact with these two constraints that makes it the most popular, popular and popular art among the people.
After my countrys "entry into the customs", under the wave of world economic integration, Chinese folk paper-cutting art and other national arts have been jointly impacted. This impact comes from the economy and cultural consciousness. Chinese national and folk culture is facing challenges, and the life of Chinese folk paper-cut art is being tested. In the early 1950s, Pang Xunqin pointed out in "Research on Pattern Issues": We might as well take a look at it from daily life, from all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation. Except in remote rural areas, In China and outside the distant border areas, all handicrafts have been almost lost. They have been corroded by the culture of the invaders for a long time, causing the national self-esteem to be shaken and the national culture to be gradually destroyed.
Pang Xunqin’s words are still warning today. With the support of its developed economy, Western cultures impact on disadvantaged cultures is first manifested in the change of lifestyles and traditional customs of some ethnic minorities or tribes, and the destruction of national culture. Ethnic groups in other developing countries are also affected. The diversity of cultures is originally an extremely important human resource. It is the crystallization of various civilizations accumulated by human beings as they adapt to survive. Interaction and support from multiple cultures are conditions for human survival. In the world, the disappearance of cultural differences among various ethnic groups will be a disaster for mankind. Folk culture is the original culture and foundation of national culture. In our country, folk art is an important carrier of folk culture. Therefore, the development and inheritance of artistic styles such as Chinese folk paper-cut patterns are of great significance. Losing its stylistic characteristics will loosen or even collapse the foundation of national culture, and lose own writingchange. It is difficult for a nation that has lost its own culture to stand on its own among the nations of the world. In particular, racial discrimination in todays world will also be accompanied by strong culture. Our country is a developing country. Although its economy has developed, it is still not developed. The Chinese civilization based on this economy, although it is great, glorious and has a long tradition, is still in a weak position. If we ignore this point and allow the influence of strong culture, national culture such as Chinese folk paper-cutting art will lose its own style and characteristics. The style of art has the function of embodying the national content in art forms such as Chinese folk paper-cutting. The national content includes: national spirit, emotion, self-esteem, self-improvement, will, and historical and cultural experience. Because of this, we can stylistically distinguish Polish paper-cut works from Chinese folk paper-cut works. Chinese folk paper-cutting art has a great influence and penetration on the lives, thoughts and emotions of working people. Inheriting the excellent styles of Chinese folk art is conducive to cultivating the national spirit and enhancing national cohesion. Therefore, researching, understanding, and grasping the style of Chinese folk paper-cutting art play an important guiding role and protective role in inheriting Chinese folk paper-cutting art. A correct understanding of the style of Chinese folk paper-cut art is also conducive to the development and development of Chinese folk paper-cut art itself. This is also my original intention to discuss my understanding of folk art style. I hope that the style tree of Chinese folk paper-cut art will be evergreen!
