Paper cut culture

As an art with paper as its processing object, paper-cut has a long history. It has a wide range of branches among the people. Due to different regions, local customs and aesthetic tastes, its creative style also has its own characteristics. Guo Moruo, a great writer, once praised the folk paper-cut art of our country: "once I saw the window flowers of the northern country, their taste was naive and rich, and now the paper-cut art of the southern country is very rich The beauty is immortal among the people. As early as before liberation, wengdun Township had many paper-cut artists. They all work hard in busy farming hours and create paper-cut art in leisure time. Especially when they marry a new daughter-in-law, have children, celebrate the new year, stick double happiness to every family, and stick window decorations to every household, the paper-cut artists are very busy.

After liberation, the central government proposed that the country should take economic construction as the center and carry out reform and opening up. According to the local conditions, the Party committee and government of wengdun Township decided to take the vigorous development of mass culture as the breakthrough point to drive the economic development of the whole township. It has set up peasant painting and Calligraphy Association, Peasant Sports Association, peasant music association, peasant paper cutting and peasant painting association. Among them, the farmers' paper-cut is the most active (because the main tools of paper-cut are scissors and paper, which is simple and economic). Under the correct guidance and support of the government, the majority of paper-cut artists have high creative passion, old artists teach traditional techniques to young people, and young people have new creative ideas. After several years of unremitting efforts, wengdun township's paper-cut art has reached a certain level. In the early 1990s, under the careful organization of the Party committee and the government, the vast number of paper-cut artists in wengdun Township participated in large-scale folk art exhibitions and exhibitions in Lu'an and Anhui Province for many times, and had a great influence. There emerged such paper-cut art experts as sun Lanqin, Deng Zhongying, Wang MINGYE, Fang Changcai, etc. among them, sun Lanqin was also rated as "Chinese skillful girl" by the all China Women's Federation.

Under their influence and guidance, coupled with the good organization and guidance of the township party committee and government, many farmers volunteered to join various associations established in the township, and actively participated in the night schools and scientific and technological training classes for farmers held by the township, striving to become leaders of getting rich. Wengdun township's advanced practice of developing mass culture to drive the economic growth of the township has been affirmed by leaders at all levels. In 1994, wengdun Township also attended the national village culture seminar held in Xuchang, Henan Province.
