How to cut Qingming paper video

The method of cutting Qingming paper is described in detail as follows:

First, the paper-cutting method:

1, Tomb-Sweeping Day's paper-cutting method is to prepare a square piece of paper, fold the four corners diagonally, then fold the triangle in half, and then cut it from the big side of the triangle. Cut a distance of about one centimeter before and after. Know the vertex of the triangle and reserve one centimeter. After cutting, don't cut it too thoroughly, leaving 1 cm. Unfold the paper and lift it from the middle for cutting.

2. Spread a piece of paper on the desktop. The width of paper is about 20 cm, and the length is the length of the whole paper. Fold the paper in half once along the middle so that the long side coincides with the long side.

2. Fold the folded paper again according to the center, then fold the paper twice in the short direction, and then we cut the folded shape left and right with scissors.

3. When cutting, be careful not to cut the paper, just cut it one centimeter away from the edge, and keep the width of the cut note about one centimeter. After cutting, open the folded paper, and it will become Tomb-Sweeping Day's "hanging paper" under its own weight.

Second, Tomb-Sweeping Day profile:

1, Qingming is one of the 24 solar terms and the fifth solar term in spring. Tomb-Sweeping Day was named after "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival shows everything". Qingming is a solar term that reflects the phenological changes in nature. At this time, the sun is shining, plants are sprouting, flowers are in full bloom, and nature presents a vibrant scene. At this time, the south of our country has shown the image of fresh air and beautiful scenery, and the north has also begun to break the snow, the temperature has risen, and the spring is harmonious. ?

2. Qingming usually changes from April 4 to 6 in the Gregorian calendar, and it is not fixed on a certain day, but April 5 is the most common. Tomb-Sweeping Day is both a solar term and a festival, and Tomb-Sweeping Day atmosphere provides important conditions for the formation of Tomb-Sweeping Day customs in terms of time and weather phenology.
