"Three friends in winter, plum, orchid and bamboo." When I saw these three papercuts, I couldn't help thinking of this poem. The noble plum blossom, the green bamboo and the proud orchid are vivid and colorful. But what I like best is the paper cutting of "bamboo". You can see that the branches of bamboo are so upright and free, and the branches and leaves are so flexible and green. It seems that they are fighting against the cold and waking up from hibernation. I didn't expect that an ordinary sharp knife and a piece of ordinary colored paper could cut such beautiful works of art.

This exquisite paper-cut was given to me by an old grandpa when I went to the park. On that day, I was enjoying paper-cut works. An old grandpa came over and saw that I loved paper-cut so much, so he picked up tools and made it on site. The scissors were like a butterfly dancing lightly, freely and elegantly, leaving beautiful and vivid patterns on the paper. Finally, the butterfly stopped flying, as if tired, and presented exquisite patterns on the stage where the butterfly flew. Grandfather gave me the paper cut, and I was very surprised. I was jumping with joy in holding the paper cut.

Since then, as long as I think of this paper cutting, my mind will constantly reflect Grandpa's skillful skills and his mental and physical attitude when cutting paper.

My heart is full of pride. I am proud that this is Chinese folk art, and my proud works are exquisite and vivid. This is the most traditional folk art paper cutting in China.

Paper cutting is also called paper cutting, window cutting or picture cutting. It is not only the traditional culture of China, but also the exquisite folk arts and crafts. In doing this kind of handwork, some use scissors, and some use machines.

When cutting paper with sharp scissors and carving knives, you can cut on gold and silver foil, snow-white paper, thick bark, and green leaves. In ancient times, paper cutting was to draw patterns on paper and then use a carving knife to carve along the drawn lines. Today's paper-cut is to draw beautiful patterns on the computer, and then input the machine, the machine will automatically cut out. The cut patterns can also be pasted on the wardrobe, windows and doors

When I cut paper, I first take a piece of paper, fold it diagonally, and then cut it on it. I cut a rectangle, a square, a triangle, and a circle. Cut it, I'll open it, wow! Turned into a beautiful window flower. I took another piece of paper, folded it along the opposite side, and then cut it on it. I cut butterflies and flowers. After finishing, I opened it and turned it into several butterflies flying around on the flowers. How interesting!

Paper cutting is not only Chinese traditional culture, but also my favorite handicraft!

The old man said that there was a legend about the Kitchen God in ancient times, so every family would have a kitchen stove in their own home. Although this stove is used for cooking, in order to beautify the kitchen environment and make the people who use the food have a good mood and appetite, it is painted on the wall of the stove.

My family also has a stove, and there are many paintings on the wall of the stove. There are magpies and plum flowers on the top of the stove wall, a big double happiness character beside it, and a flower basket below it, which is full of flowers, such as chrysanthemums, roses, peonies, and so on. They are bright and beautiful. On the side of the stove is a huge treasure basin, which is filled with countless gold and silver treasures. On the treasure basin, there are four words "Recruit Wealth and Treasure". Next to the basin, there is a couplet, on which eight words are written: "The treasure basin is home, safe all the year round". There is also a picture of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea below. The paintings on the stove are so rich!

I asked my sister what those paintings meant. She said: "The first picture represents a happy face. The second picture represents happiness and beauty. The third picture represents peace and wealth." My sister also said that these represent good luck and beauty, and they all reflect the yearning and pursuit of the ancient working people for a happy life.

I think these paintings are very interesting, especially the cornucopia.

The first day of the lunar calendar every year is the Spring Festival, but how did it come about?

It is said that a long time ago, there was a monster called Nian. On the first day of the lunar calendar, it would go down the mountain to eat all the animals, such as pigs, sheep and cattle, and sometimes several people. And people have to flee to a mountain to avoid Nian! Once an old man came to the place where people lived and said that he could defeat Nian. People told him to be more careful, and then he climbed up the mountain.

After the grandpa slept for a while, "Nian" came, but the grandpa was not afraid. Instead, he wore a red suit, put some rice balls a little far from the house, and then lit a fire with bamboo. Nian was curious when he saw the rice ball, so he took it for a taste. However, the rice ball was too sticky and stuck Nian's mouth on. Nian had to go back dejectedly. It suddenly heard the sound of burning bamboo. Because it was very afraid of the sound, it ran away in fright.

When people came back, they were curious to see that Grandpa was still safe and sound, so they asked him about his journey. Grandpa told people about it. People were very happy to hear about it, and they held a get-together happily. "Celebrating the New Year" came into being. Later, people called that day "Spring Festival"

The Spring Festival is really one of the traditional Chinese culture!

In the far east, there is a dragon whose name is China! China has a vast land and abundant resources: the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are magnificent; The Great Wall is like a dragon; Qinghai Tibet Plateau, the roof of the world; And the beautiful scenery of Guilin.

My favorite traditional culture is paper cutting. China's paper-cut originated in the Western Han Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty was in a period of great development. Paper making in the Song Dynasty was mature, providing conditions for the popularization of paper-cut. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, paper-cut handicrafts became mature and reached its peak. Nowadays, paper-cut is more used for decoration, which can be used to decorate walls, doors and windows, mirrors, etc., and can also be presented to others as gifts.

Today, I saw several beautiful paper cuts: one is "Happiness and Longevity", and the center is a word "longevity", representing longevity. A circle of bats on the side symbolizes happiness and happiness. He expresses people's wishes and yearnings for a better life; One is a picture of a tiger. Tigers are the king of the jungle. Some of them are sitting, some are lying on their stomach, some are looking for prey, and some are roaring. Each one is fierce, and each one is powerful; My favorite picture is "Magpie Climbing the Branch". Look, those two happy little magpies are chirping and afraid of going to the high place of the tree in the competition! That is to hope that we can study hard and make progress every day.

I think paper-cut is very beautiful. It is our traditional culture and a beautiful flower in the garden of traditional culture. I like Chinese traditional culture. I like paper cutting.
