新素养·文化意识 Chinese folk art is like a bridge connecting the past and the present. For thousands of years, Chinese people have created beautiful artworks to celebrate life, festivals, and hopes. Let's explore some amazing forms of these traditions!
1. Paper - Cutting: Windows Full of Wishes
Using simple tools like scissors and red paper, artists cut out delicate patterns (图案). You might see blooming flowers, jumping fish, or the Chinese character Fu for good luck. During the Spring Festival, families stick paper - cuts on windows to welcome happiness. In rural villages, grandmothers still teach children this skill.
2. Clay Art: Stories Shaped by Hands
In Fengxiang, Shaanxi Province, artists mix clay with water and shape it into tigers, rabbits, or even heroes from Chinese stories. After drying, they paint the figures with bright colours like red, green, and gold. These clay toys are not just for play—people believe they can drive away bad luck.
3. Shadow Puppets (皮影戏): Dancing Silhouettes
Over 2,000 years ago, shadow puppetry began. Performers use leather puppets painted in bold colours. Behind a white cloth screen, they move the puppets' arms and legs with sticks. At the same time, they sing old tales about kings, warriors, and dragons. Long before TV appeared, this was "ancient Chinese cinema"!
4. Chinese Knots: Threads of Blessings
A single red silk thread can become a lucky knot! These knots have no beginning or end, symbolizing endless love and family unity. People hang them on doors during weddings or give them to friends as New Year gifts. Some complex knots even look like butterflies or flowers.
Why Keep Folk Art Alive?
Today, museums and schools work together to protect these arts. Young artists mix traditional skills with modern designs. For example, some use paper - cuts to make birthday cards, while others create emoji - style clay figures. As the saying goes, "A country without old traditions is like a tree without roots (根)."
1. What do people use to make paper - cuts?
2. Why do Fengxiang clay toys have bright colours?
3. How old is shadow puppetry according to the passage?
4. What do Chinese knots stand for?
5. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph tell us?
