China News Service, Jilin, January 12 (Shi Hongyu) Before moving to Canada, Wang Xin, who was over 60 years old, learned paper-cutting from the inheritors of Manchu paper-cutting in his hometown of Jilin City, Jilin Province. This allowed her to have more than 10 students in foreign countries.

  The paper-cutting studied by Wang Xin originated from the Chinese Manchu paper-cutting culture and art. The Fahrenheit paper-cutting represented by his "Master" is quite influential in Jilin City.

As one of the birthplaces of Manchu in China, the local area has a long history of paper-cutting.

With the love of paper-cutting by students and all walks of life, paper-cutting works and techniques have been "crossing the ocean" in recent years.

  Gorgeous, who was born with a paraplegic paraplegia, learned to pick up scissors from her father at the age of 3. In 2004, she sold her work "Rooster Picture" to a Japanese customer at an exhibition held in Dalian for the first time.

Guests said that the black earth folklore presented in the work is very charming.

  Relying on the Manchu folk culture and living environment, Manchu paper-cutting mainly expresses Guandong customs and folk customs. It has its own specific language and style in artistic creation. It is a folk art that carries the splendid culture of Changbai Mountain.

The magnificent works not only show Kanto folk customs, but also incorporate realism.

  In 2008, her work "Looking forward" was collected by the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee. In 2009, she held a personal paper-cut exhibition in Beijing.

Since then, she has sold her works to Singapore, the United States, and Germany through various exhibitions.

  7-year-old Song Ye is a gorgeous son. He was only 23 months old when he picked up the scissors, earlier than his mother.

Under the influence of ears and eyes, he can currently create works independently.

"I hope the art of Manchu paper-cutting can be passed on endlessly," Huali said.

  Huahua devoted its energy to inheritance and opened a training class in Jilin City.

Every year, more than 200 students come here to learn paper-cutting. The youngest is only a few years old and the oldest is 75 years old.

Over the years, thousands of students have "graduated" from here. They not only mastered basic techniques, but also learned art creation.

  In the past few years, some of the gorgeous "apprentices" have been quite skilled in art and have begun to appear frequently in various competitions at home and abroad.

  The Jilin Disabled Persons’ Federation holds a paper-cutting training class every year to teach them the skills of paper-cutting for free.

At present, more than 40 disabled people have benefited from this.

Among them, the outstanding students have regarded paper-cutting as a production skill. The 30-year-old Shao Yan is one of the best. Her paper-cutting works are welcomed by the market.

  Recently, Huali is preparing to create the 2022 Winter Olympics theme works with the students. She hopes to lead the students to continue to let the Manchu paper-cut works "cross the ocean". (Finish)
