1, different characteristics
The northern paper-cut folk customs are rich and simple, and the representative areas are mainly Shanxi, Shaanxi and Shandong. Southern paper-cutting pays attention to lines, and its composition is complicated. The representative areas are mainly Guangdong, Fujian and Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
2. Different shapes
South paper-cut paper-cut has a wide range of themes, including figures, flowers, birds, animals, insects and fish, strange peaks and rocks, places of interest and so on. Paper-cutting in the north is mostly about people's activities, flowers, birds, fish and insects, birds and beasts, folk stories and legends, etc.
Take Shaanxi paper-cut in the north as an example: Shaanxi paper-cut has a long history as a folk art form. Among the paper-cutting arts with different styles and characteristics all over the country, the ancient and quaint Shaanxi paper-cutting is loved by people for its unique charm.
From south to north in Shaanxi, especially in the Loess Plateau and Qinchuan, red, green and green paper-cuts can be seen everywhere. Gu Zhuo's modeling, rough style, interesting implication, diverse forms and exquisite skills occupy a very important position in Shaanxi and even the whole country's folk art.
Paper-cut forms of expression
1. The line is connected, but the line is broken.
Because paper-cut works are cut out or carved out on paper, we should take the method of hollowing out. Because of hollowing out, paper-cuts with public lines must be connected with lines, and paper-cuts with bus lines must be disconnected with lines. If you cut off some lines, the whole paper-cut will be fragmented and deformed. Thus, there is a structure that does not fall or cut. This is an important feature of paper-cutting art.
2. The patterning of composition modeling
Paper-cutting is different from other paintings in composition. "It is difficult to show the overlap of three-dimensional space, scene and image, and it often breaks through the proportion and perspective relationship between objects and images. The content is mainly based on the connection of images, and more combinations are used. Due to the exaggerated deformation in modeling, it can also use some laws of formal beauty of patterns to make symmetry, uniformity, balance, combination and continuity.
