Shandong Gaomi City has a layout area of ​​1,605 square kilometers and a population of 850,000. It administers 17 towns and 3 streets. Gaomi has a history of more than 2,200 years and was called Yi'an in ancient times. Yi'an people are smart and quiet, the Spring and Autumn Period is the name of Yan Ying, the Han Dynasty Dasong University, Zheng Xuan, and the Qing Dynasty university student Liu Wei were born here. Gaomi is the hometown of Mo Yan, and the source of his important works such as "Red Sorghum". It is high in density and beautiful in scenery. It is known as the natural landscape of “Nanjing Jiuling Show and North View of the Ancient City”. It is the "hometown of folk art" named by the Ministry of Culture. Its folk art has a long history and a rich source of humanities. In particular, the three major art of paper-cutting, ash-painting, and clay sculpture are the most prominent. They are known as the "three musts". The source is spread over hundreds of years and is called a folk art treasure by Chinese and foreign artists. Every year, a large number of experts and scholars at home and abroad come to find out. Paper-cutting, ash-painting, and clay sculptures have been passed by the high-density folks and become treasures of the world's folk art lovers. Folk skills have become the treasures of the world and art palaces. During the Lunar New Year, you can't see the red sorghum in Zhang Yimou's film in Shandong Gaomi, but the bustling commercial street in the center of the city can see the paper-cut, ash-painting and clay sculptures known as the “high-density three”. The exquisite craftsmanship brings out a rich flavor.

The most widely spread of the high-density paper-cut "high-density three-piece" is the art of paper-cutting. Every Spring Festival, many "Fuk" lamps are hung in front of the shadow walls of many small farms. The exquisitely cut paper "Fu" is placed on the gauze, and then reddish with window grilles and bottles and cages. The paper-cuts of different shapes are filled with a festive atmosphere. "The colored paper is taken in the hand, and the self-generated flowers are cut. The twelve zodiac shows the magical powers, and the Zhuang households are upside down." In the high-density countryside, this scene can be seen everywhere. I heard that there are thousands of paper-cutting artists here, and there are many paper-cutting families. Some villages have also established paper-cutting associations.

I went to Fan Yixin’s family. This family of eight, young and old three generations can cut paper, and the cutting skills are quite high. Fan Yixin, who has only been in the country for four years, has been in middle age, and has performed many paper-cutting performances in Beijing, Shenzhen, Shenyang and other places to hold a personal paper-cut exhibition. The big photo was on the "Art" magazine, and foreigners came to his house to be guests. Daughter Fan Yunying went to Japan to perform paper-cut performances and was known as the "Magic Scissor". Fan Yixin's wife Liu Caihua cut the characters of the water scorpion 100 singles and eight will be included in the national-level publishing house paper-cut collection, praised by experts. Paper-cutting is inseparable from folk customs, and high-density paper-cutting is even more so. Look at the traditional paper-cut long scroll "The Mouse Kiss", the mighty mouse squad, the flag, the card, the umbrella, the fan, and so on. The grand ceremony and the spectacular scene are no less than the royal princess.

High-density paper-cutting has a long history in the folk and is widely used. It has been at least 2,000 years old in the art of paper-cutting. When it comes from high-density paper-cutting, there is no written record or archaeological discovery. According to the legend of the locals, it is similar to the time when the ash-nature paintings flourished. In the early years of Ming Hongwu, it was widely spread in the high-density folks. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of immigrants brought paper-cutting in the field, and the integration of the host and the guest gradually formed a unique style of high-density paper-cut. First, the block and the line form a black and white gray tone, which is set off against each other, with strong contrast and rhythm.

The second is that the paper is straight and thick, thick and thick, and has a strong golden stone meaning. The third is to be known for its ingenious ideas. The composition exaggerated deformation is not distorted. With clever ideas, juvenile shapes, strong lines, and arrogant interest. Paper-cutting is not like other art, there are many complicated processes and unique materials. Just the paper-cutting artist cuts out various themes and patterns with ordinary scissors and paper used daily. In the art of paper-cutting, which is popular throughout the country, high-density paper-cutting is called “exclusive”, depending on the subject matter and artistic style it represents. The theme of high-density paper-cutting is widely known. As for the extent to which it is widely used, it is difficult to count, and it is closely related to people's daily life, from the birds and beasts of nature to the ancient myths and legends. Historical stories, literary figures and plots have all entered the perspective of paper-cutting art.

From conception to technique, from content to form, it fully embodies the ancient aesthetics of both form and spirit, with God as the main. The combination of form and meaning, the meaning of the main character, resembles the freehand brushwork. The theme of high-density paper-cutting is widely known.

In art, the high-density paper-cut concept is exquisite, the shape is elegant and simple, the lines are strong and straight, and there is a strong gold stone flavor and delicate and delicate rhyme. For example, it is difficult to express the anecdotes of raising cages in monochrome paper-cutting.

The high-density paper-cutting artist was ingeniously conceived to release the cockroach out of the cage, so that a pair of hard and powerful hind legs tightly hooked a delicate cage, and the two squats were forward and the eyes were round and round. It is a natural expression of this particular theme of life, and it also places a strong desire for people to long for freedom and longing for a better life. Similarly, the paper-cut with the theme of “Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea”, Jiangnan paper-cutting purely with soft thin lines, hand-painted facial features, looks exquisite and transparent, Hebei paper-cut is mainly block, black face is black, only the overall outline is not detailed. It looks thick and rough, while the high-density paper-cut is composed of fish-line and net-like thin lines, which are composed of the "eight cents" straight and soft clothing. The black and black face color shows the different expressions of the "eight immortals", plus the thick The water and the flowing clouds form a unique picture of the fascinating, fully embodies the delicate style of the high-density paper-cut and the strong style of the gold-plated stone. The authors of paper-cutting are mostly folk women. They have not received any professional education in art. They are so creative and creative, their works are not legal, and they are clear and beautiful in the rough.
