A group of traditional-style paper sculptures in Red Sculpture Square are created with the theme of "shouting", the most charming style of old Beijing. Such works full of the charm of traditional market culture are really friendly. Coupled with the careful carving of the characters by Red Sculpture Workshop, the old Beijingers in the works are lifelike. It is as if you are hearing something while appreciating these paper art works. Those beautiful and melodious shouts...
I really like this group of works with strong folk characteristics. It brings some of the lost folk customs of old Beijing to life before us, and also gives us the opportunity to once again feel the warmth and warmth unique to the working people of old Beijing. Rustic.
This time the paper sculptures include a man who sells oil, a cheese seller, an almond tea seller and a dried fruit seller. XuThe vivid characters and the earthy background immediately brought us to the old Beijing full of distinctive cries...
Don’t underestimate the cries of old Beijing. Just like every detail of paper art works needs to be made with great concentration (you need to carefully figure out the theme of the work and carefully carve out the images of characters and other things), there is no cries of old Beijing. Every sentence has its own particular points: the most important thing is the shouting word. One more word or one less word will not make it perfect. Verbs, adjectives, interjections, etc. must be used exquisitely, and they must rhyme with each other, just right; there are also many things to pay attention to in tone. Strength, weakness, speed and slowness cannot be developed overnight; of course, the content must be full of attraction and imagination, and it must be close to the people but not lose its freshness.
Old Beijing’s shouting is not just a necessary weapon for businessmen, as time goes by, it gradually penetrates from life into other art forms. The traditional cross talk "Selling Appraisal Clothes" includes the work of shouting. The knife sharpener in the modern Peking Opera "The Story of the Red Lantern" also shouted: "Grind the scissors - grab the kitchen knife!" The shouting king mentioned above was used to reflect the old Beijing in "Old Things in the South" and "Four Seasons" a few years ago. Shouting sounds have been used in film and television dramas such as "The World is Together", and more than ten years ago, there was a sketch in which the shouting "Sell rice—sell rice!" became really popular.
The "Cries of Old Beijing" paper sculpture series carefully created by Red Plastic Workshop, each work is so wonderful and lifelike! The vivid character depictions and realistic business properties bring the melodious shouts of old Beijing back to life again. It has arrived in our modern life! The classic lies in the inspection and observation of the details of life.
The vivid character creation makes the whole work full of vitality and vitality. Through the old Beijing paper sculpture series of Red Plastic Square, we can return to the streets of old Beijing again and feel the rich urban customs from old Beijing.
In the old Beijing of the past, although the streets were orderly, the alleys were often bottomless. In order to let the households deep in the alleys know that they had brought the goods they might need, peddlers had to pass through Yelling to convey information. In this way, the cries of old Beijing have become a unique scenery in Beijing’s urban culture. Although the development of the city has eliminated the cries of old Beijing, fortunately, many caring people have "recorded" the cries of old Beijing in various ways. Red Plastic Squares paper sculpture series - "Cries of Old Beijing" will allow us to experience the melodious and sonorous cries of old Beijing again.
One of the most eye-catching cultures on the streets of old Beijing is the shouting culture of old Beijing. Don’t think that shouting means just shouting twice. The shouting in old Beijing has risen from a simple hawking to an artistic level. It integrates singing, chanting and performance, and is full of fascinating Beijing accent, Beijing rhyme, Beijing style and Beijing flavor. , is a concentrated expression of the long-standing cultural accumulation of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. Even now, traders no longer need to shout in the streets, but the culture itself is still full of vitality.
If there is any sound that is the most melodious in the streets and alleys of old Beijing, it must be the shouts of old Beijing. The cries of old Beijing have a rich fragrance, showing the essence of old Beijing street culture. Humorous, witty, and rhyming shouts make ordinary life full of a different kind of fun, a kind of artistic deposition and sublimation of urban life. Today, Red Plastic Workshop once again brings his series of paper sculptures with shouts of old Beijing.
