I like paper-cutting, and I have to start with the influence of art at the earliest. I remember that since I was four or five years old, my versatile father often drew small animals for me, and all kinds of small animals could be painted vividly with a few strokes. My father was really great in my mind at that time. Later, my parents sent me to my grandmother's house because of their busy work. Grandma has a pair of skillful hands. She often folds a piece of paper into different patterns with only a few scissors. Yellowing paper, dull scissors and exquisite patterns all left a deep impression on me. Perhaps from then on, I was conquered by the charm of art, and perhaps it was this family atmosphere that gave me my first hazy understanding of art.
In high school, by chance, my friends from the Academy of Fine Arts gave me two books about paper cutting. I was deeply attracted by the content of this book. Through these two books, I have a more comprehensive understanding of paper-cutting, and its ingenious expression completely impressed me, so I became an out-and-out paper-cutting enthusiast.
Because I have an art foundation, learning paper-cutting is like a duck to water. However, paper-cutting is a meticulous work, and people who have no patience can't do it. It is a pity that a work will be finished soon, but it fails because of careless cutting of a line. It can be said that this kind of paper-cutting can also cultivate a person's accomplishment. Only by understanding the mystery with your heart can you make your works natural, simple and fresh, clever in your own mistakes, bold in roughness and smooth in subtle ways.
For me, paper-cutting is a pleasure. Staring at the pattern, I cut it like scissors, and the slight sound when scissors hinge paper is like beautiful music. In this beautiful music, lovely animals "live" and beautiful flowers "open" ... I used to be restless. Because I like paper-cutting, I can work for five or six hours without looking up. My friend said I was a little.
Cai Hou used bamboo in Vivian Wei to make paper, and a clever girl chose to draw brocade paintings. The scenery of heaven and earth is panoramic, and the posture of human body is completely preserved. The meat cleaver is refined in rhyme, the brush is carefully cut out, the fairy flowers are scattered one after another, and the colorful clouds fly to Wanjiawu. I think, when people come to this world, they must love this world. As long as you love life, life will always be beautiful. At present, the annual Spring Festival is coming again. In this era of expensive diamonds, we might as well send a beautiful paper-cut to our friends to see if it can be treasured forever. ...
