In the campus of the Central School of Ningcheng County, Ningcheng County, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, a 37 -meter -long paper -cutting work is particularly noticeable. The work reproduces the color painting "Map of the Silk Road" in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and uses the unique freehand form of paper -cutting to outline the 211 important geographical coordinates such as Jiaye Kansai to Tianfang City (now Saudi Arabia), covering 211 important geographical coordinates such as Dunhuang. The "Millennium Silk Road" is large in scale and exquisitely cut.

This long -rolled paper -cutting work was completed by Ni Shuli Ni Shuli and her students from the Central School of the Central School of Biyuezi Town. In addition, they also created a 15 -meter -long paper -rolled paper work "Thousands of Miles and Mountains" and "Qingming Shanghe Tu" to present the 73rd anniversary of the New China.

In the live broadcast room of the China Youth Daily "warm one square", Ningcheng's fifth -generation inheritor Ni Shuli said in an interview with reporters that paper -cutting is the display of non -heritage skills, a carrier of rural aesthetic education, and a section of historical and cultural heritage.

Bring non -heritage paper -cutting into rural schools

Ni Shuli is the fifth -generation inheritor of Ningcheng's intangible cultural heritage project "Ningcheng Paper -cutting". Affected by the family, he loved folk art from Xiaoku, and especially likes the exquisite paper -cutting in his hands. In 2003, Ni Shuli graduated from college. She studied art and studied art to be an art teacher in the Central School of Biyingzi Town, Ningcheng County. It was nearly 20 years.

Ni Shuli still remembered the scene of the first art class: the children did not have oil drawing sticks and no color lead, and simply drawing with pencils in class. She feels that this cannot improve children's aesthetics. At that time, the red paper only had a few corners of the money, and everyone had cutting knives at home. Ni Shuli decided to teach everyone paper.

But it is not easy to implement paper -cutting courses on campus. At first, a teacher's parents did not understand: holding a hole on the paper with scissors, and if you have a hand, why should you open a paper -cut lesson? In Ni Shuli's view, the truly valuable paper -cutting should be able to reflect professional skills, carry excellent culture, and at the same time stimulate children's creativity. "Paper -cutting can exercise children's observation, thinking ability, and hands -on ability, and can also achieve aesthetic improvement. Children can explore and discover infinitely, and make it more exquisite and more meaningful."

With the support of the school, Ni Shuli incorporated the content of "non -heritage paper -cutting" into art teaching, opened high -stage paper -cutting art activities, and also wrote 3 books for paper -cutting school -based textbooks suitable for different sections. Feel the charm of non -heritage paper -cutting.

The first step of paper -cutting is drawing. Draw the designed pattern on the paper with a pencil. The problem with the problem is modified in time. It is changed to feel that it is beautiful enough to start cutting. The technique of cutting is also very important. In Ningcheng's paper -cutting, how to use scissors with scissors has requirements for each finger.

The second grade girl Mei Xuezheng has been interested in paper -cutting since she was a child. After participating in the first paper -cutting class on the first day, he instantly fell in love with the event. "The teacher told us the traditional culture of paper -cutting, which is particularly interesting. Paper -cutting can cultivate my imagination, creativity, and hands -on ability. I love paper cutting more and more."

Cut out cultural heritage with scissors

When making the "Silk Road Map", Ni Shuli strictly referred to historical data for creation. In order to confirm the distance and curvature between cities, it was accurately measured with ruler several times. The early painting and complex paper -cutting part of the period took two years.

Ni Shuli left the parts that some children could operate at the beginning of the school. Each time she selected 3-5 children from the community, and made the decoration parts such as willow patterns and leaves hollowing out. "Everyone is dividing in work and cooperating with each other. Children participating in each other are particularly fulfilled."

The children also maintain curiosity and enthusiasm for the culture behind paper -cutting. Yang Xinxin, who participated in the high -stage paper -cut community, was impressed by the cloud pattern taught by the teacher: "It represents auspiciousness."

Yang Xinxin is in the second year of the second year. She likes text and landscape paper -cut works. I usually like to watch paper -cut short videos and learn how to cut "more artistic". "During the New Year, my parents will let me cut a window flower for every window at home, because Teacher Ni taught very carefully, and the pattern I cut is better."

Ningcheng paper -cutting also incorporates many Mongolian elements and local characteristics. In Ni Shuli's view, each paper -cut pattern has its own meaning. For example, the pattern of 9 pomegranates symbolizes the reunion and multi -child blessing; each grass, every cloud, and each pattern have the meaning, "these are paper -cut language."

Ningcheng's paper -cutting pays attention to "continuous cutting, connecting thousands of cuts", even if it is cut 10,000 times, the strokes of each line are connected to each other. Unlike some industrial paper -cutting on the market, the lines will be disconnected. "I said, this means that it is continuously passed down from generation to generation." Ni Shuli said. The paper -cutting process also symbolizes the unpleasant, unlucky and unfortunate blessing, leaving only a pattern that symbolizes reunion, happiness and happiness.

Cultural heritage is a magical "closed loop". During the epidemic in 2020, the school did not officially start until May. During the long holiday, a girl insisted on passing WeChat to Ni Shuli a paper -cutting work he created every week. Ni Shuli put them in a file bag, and finally accumulated into a paper -cut collection. The child's love for paper -cutting has led her grandma, and the old man taught his granddaughter to his granddaughter. Ni Shuli was surprised to find that many of them are worth learning and inheritance. For example, using the tip of scissors to tie a small triangle on the paper, you can cut the Phoenix's tail. Inspired by girls and grandma, Ni Shuli visited many folk artists, learned some of the upcoming techniques, filled the vacancy of Ningcheng's paper -cutting, and promoted the reproduction and inheritance of traditional skills.

In Ni Shuli's view, the promotion and inheritance of local non -heritage culture on rural campus is a very important form of rural aesthetic education. "Non -heritage paper -cutting is profound. I want non -heritage paper -cutting into kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, high school, and even university, so that traditional culture blooms in all corners of the campus."
