In Fengxian, a southern suburb of Shanghai, the paper art that people love has been passed down since ancient times. Carving, cutting and folding are handicrafts performed by folk artists. Over time, the art of paper carving, paper cutting and origami has been constantly sublimated and has become a must-have item in people's lives, especially for celebrations, funerals and decorations. Fengcheng paper carving can be traced back to the fourth year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty. Its artistic charm was once a unique one in Jiangnan. The knife skills are exquisite and subtle, upright and powerful, the lines are bright and rich, and the composition is elegant and beautiful. Before liberation, artists who made a living by "incense" were all good at paper carving, and the content was mostly drawn from classical masterpieces, allusions from past dynasties, folk legends, auspiciousness, etc. Such as "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", "Water Margin Characters", and "Journey to the West Characters". After liberation, the subject matter has been broadened and many modern works have been incorporated. In the past, funeral offerings and incense activities were popular, and each teacher had a unique style. With the change of the times, the transformation of concepts and customs, many artists who made a living by paper cutting have changed their careers, and "paper cutting" seems to have disappeared. In Baiyiju Village, Fengcheng Town, there used to be a group of paper cutting artists. The old artists of the previous generation have passed away one after another. Some artists who once held the carving knife have also withdrawn from the paper cutting team for various reasons and no longer work in the paper cutting industry. The most representative one is the late Mr. Pei Genquan. The works under his carving knife are delicate and exquisite. Unfortunately, his descendants did not take over the knife in his hand, and he never accepted an apprentice. Fortunately, there is still a living old man Gu Fuguang (formerly known as Gu Xuexiang) in Baiyiju Village. He is now 85 years old, still has good hearing and eyesight, and can occasionally move the carving knife. His fifth son Gu Guibiao learned the true teachings from his father. What is most worrying now is that there is no successor. No young people, let alone children, are willing to take paper cutting as their lifelong career and learn the art. This folk art is now in a state of discontinuity. If it is not protected and rescued in time, it will be on the verge of extinction. Folk paper-cutting art was once widely spread in Qingcun Town. It was passed down through family teaching and apprenticeship. With colored glossy paper as the main material, the paper is folded, the pattern is outlined with a pen, and paper flowers are cut into various types, generally dominated by flowers, birds and figures, with realistic shapes, various poses, beautiful shapes, and national cultural characteristics. Artworks are matched with white paper or different colored paper as a foil, which is eye-catching. Artworks are generally used for: celebration, embellishment, funeral, and warding off evil spirits. In weddings, birthdays, and festivals, the themes of auspiciousness, wealth, and blessings are mainly used, such as "Eight Auspicious", "Double Happiness", "Double Money", "Double Butterfly", "Dragon and Phoenix", "Pine Crane Longevity", "Rich Fortune and Longevity", "Fairy Boy Offering Longevity Peach", "Liu Hai Wants Money", "Two Immortals of Harmony and Unity", "Wusong Fighting the Tiger", "Yue Fei Picks the Little Liang King with a Gun", etc. Clothes, pillows, skirts, headscarves, window paper-cuts, shoe uppers, and bellybands are decorated with vivid works of drama, flowers, birds, and insects. Works of gods and legendary figures such as "Ten Kings of Hell", "Taishang Laojun", and "Jade Emperor" are generally used as funeral offerings. For example, "Zhong Kui hangs on the house" to pray for safety from disasters. At present, although Li Guohua of Jinwang Village, Qingcun Town has superb skills, he is old and his eyesight is gradually declining. There is no successor yet. The artists in Liyao, Beitang, Dingxia and other villages are all over 70 years old and have no descendants to inherit. Origami is a traditional folk handicraft in my country. It has been widely spread around the world for thousands of years with its unique artistic charm. Artists use the different textures and properties of paper, and use methods such as "folding", "stacking", "rolling", "turning", and "inserting", supplemented by editing, splicing and other techniques to express the lifelike spatial art of various objects. For example, works such as "Mao Crab", "Chinese Tea Set", "Fourteen Color Balls", and "Golden Rooster Heralding Spring" have vivid images and vivid and intuitive shapes. Mr. Xu Juhong, a retired man from Guhua Village, Nanqiao Town, is known as the "folk origami king". He has superb skills and novel works, and was specially invited to be the instructor of the Folk Art Museum. However, origami is now only an activity and has not been truly included in the ranks of art. No one is willing to make it a lifelong career.
