Inward scissors in paper-cutting and modern pottery
Yin scissors are also called negative carvings and engravings in paper-cutting. It is a method of carving out contour lines that represent the structure of an object and expressing lines in a large surface. This effect is thick, solid, and has a strong sense of weight. It has a strong sense of black and white contrast, and the blank spaces that are cut out form a pattern. Therefore, Yin carving has a special emphasis on the importance of breaking. As shown in the paper-cut composition "The Princess Goes to the Sea", the author mainly uses the negative-cut expression technique to carve in prominent and key parts to portray the characters image vividly. The lines of the work are round, dense and neat, and the clever use of black blocks and thin lines is regular but not restrictive, creating a vivid and expressive artistic effect.

This expression technique of negative shearing is also extremely widely grafted into modern ceramic decoration. As shown in the ceramic work "Summer", "Summer" created by the famous modern ceramic artist Professor Yang Bing uses the negative shearing method in the art of paper-cut patterns to create an artistic image that emerges from the porcelain surface. The author combines modern ceramic technology and uses intaglio techniques to concisely depict the key parts of the matte black glaze, leaving appropriate solidity; the block surface is thick and weighty, and the lines in it are beautiful and vivid, with potential and charm. The picture adopts the shadow cutting method to express objective objects, and at the same time, the spacing is appropriately arranged, and the essential characteristics of the objects are summarized and extracted; the rich black and white language of the entire work expresses a high-grade artistic beauty, while maintaining the extremely typical folk style. It has a paper-cut art style and is full of the flavor of the times.
