My understanding of Jinan folk culture.

Egg carving, gourd carving, lifelike Pleasant Goat, Big Wolf, old photos of Jinan landscape pyrography ... Yesterday, more than 20 folk artists gathered in Qushui Pavilion to unveil the first folk culture street in Jinan, which will also become the first folk art activity base in Jinan, where folk artists have a platform to exchange people's livelihood.

Yesterday morning, Qushui Pavilion was very lively. There were not only live performances by folk artists and explanations by professors, but also many people who came here to watch. At that time, Qushui Pavilion seemed a bit crowded. "Mom, Pleasant Goat!" Many children saw vivid figures such as Pleasant Goat, Big Big Wolf, Pig Bajie and the Monkey King, as well as exquisite gourd carvings, beaded animals, puppets, paper-cuts and Chinese knots when passing through folk stalls, which reminded many old citizens of their childhood memories. An old man came to watch in a wheelchair. "Look at these social fire masks, how beautiful. We also watched performances when we were young, and now it is rare! " "

According to Ding Jisheng, vice chairman of Jinan Federation of Literary and Art Circles and chairman of Folk Writers Association, the first China Intangible Cultural Heritage Expo will be held in Jinan in June+10, 5438, and this year is the year of cultural construction in Jinan. Combined with this opportunity, the first folk culture street and folk art activity base will be built. Qushui Pavilion is chosen because it is located in the characteristic sign area of Quancheng, with profound cultural accumulation of old Jinan, and this community has a good cultural awareness. Last year, a small folk culture and art festival was held, and a folk art troupe was set up for free training, which combined folk art with employment and made folk art closer to people's livelihood.

It is understood that more than 20 folk artists came to Qushui Pavilion yesterday, and 40 or 50 kinds of works were exhibited. Ding Jisheng said that in the future, it will become the exchange base for Jinan folk artists. At present, other activity bases will not be developed, and this folk street will be built first. "However, the site next to Qushui Pavilion is not very big. If all the folk artists in Jinan come, it may be a little crowded. It is still exploratory at present. If there are many artists coming, we will adjust according to the situation! "
