Why stick grilles?

Why does China have the custom of Spring Festival? Window grilles are the most widely distributed, largest and most popular among Han folk paper-cuts. Other paper-cut varieties are developed and extended on the basis of window grilles. Rural areas in the north and south want stick grilles for the New Year;

First, in order to achieve the purpose of decorating the environment and rendering the atmosphere, I placed my hope of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. Window grilles are the most representative of paper-cutting art in terms of theme, expression and paper-cutting skills. Modern window grilles have gradually formed an independent art category, but they are called "window grilles" because they originally originated from clip art in folk festivals or folk activities and are mostly attached to the white paper of rural windows. For everyone, window grilles are a beautiful title, which can cause a lot of lingering and emotion. On the first day of the first lunar month, usually called the Spring Festival, decorating the living room environment in stick grilles is an important part of the Spring Festival celebrations in China.

Secondly, the folk function of window grilles is the most concentrated, which not only beautifies the living environment, but also entrusts the pursuit and desire for the ideal of life. Pray for a prosperous life, prosperous future generations, long life and good fortune, and ward off evil spirits and welcome good luck. These are the most expressive themes of window grilles, which reflect the ancient and rich cultural connotation of window grilles. [2] It can be seen from the style of window grilles circulating in the south of the Yangtze River that window grilles can better express the artistic language of paper-cutting than other paper-cutting styles. The technological characteristics of paper-cutting with window grilles have surpassed the simple decorative function of folk activities, thus changing the development pattern of single paper-cutting form. For example, the paper-cutting of embossed window grilles in Gansu uses the technology of binding paper; The painted window grilles in Hebei draw lessons from folk paintings; The silk window grilles in Nantong organically combine paper and textiles. Paper-cutting of window grilles, as a folk activity of festivals, not only beautifies the living environment, but also becomes the object of people's aesthetic communication.

Thirdly, window grilles are closely related to beginning of spring, which is the way people welcome spring since ancient times. In order to welcome the spring, people in many parts of China, especially in the north, like to hang all kinds of window grilles on their windows. Li Shangyin, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote in his poem: "Engraving gold to praise Jing customs, cutting green to create customs."

Fourth, there are quite a lot of contents about window grilles, such as farming, textile, herding sheep and raising chickens. In addition, there are myths and legends, drama stories and other themes. In addition, the images of flowers and birds, insects and fish, and the zodiac are also very common. Window grilles decorate festivals with their unique generalization and exaggeration.

What is the origin and history of rod-shaped window grilles? Historical window grilles have a history of thousands of years and gradually spread and formed in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. China folk paper-cut handicraft has its own formation and development process. China invented paper in the Western Han Dynasty BC, and it was impossible before that.

Paper-cut for window decoration

Paper-cutting art can appear, but at that time, people used thin materials to make handicrafts by hollowing out and carving, but it was popular long before paper appeared, that is, patterns were cut on gold foil, leather, silk and even leaves by carving, carving, picking, carving and cutting. According to Records of the Historian Jiantong Di Feng, in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, a king claimed the title of king, and cut a plane tree leaf into a "reed" and gave it to his younger brother, who was named Hou in the Tang Dynasty. During the Warring States period, leather carvings (one of the cultural relics unearthed from Chu Tomb No.1 in Jiangling, Hubei Province) and silver foil carvings (one of the cultural relics unearthed from the Warring States site in Guwei Village, Huixian County, Henan Province) were all demolished together with paper-cutting, and their appearance laid a certain foundation for the formation of folk paper-cutting. The earliest paper-cutting works in China were discovered in 1967, when China archaeologists discovered two paper-cuts with flowers of the Northern Dynasties in Astana near Gaochang site in Turpan Basin, Xinjiang. They use hemp paper, all of which are folded sacrificial paper-cuts. Their discovery provides physical evidence for the formation of Chinese paper-cutting. The history of paper-cutting handicraft art, that is, paper-cutting in the true sense, should begin with the appearance of paper. The invention of paper in Han Dynasty promoted the appearance, development and popularization of paper-cutting. Paper is a moldy material. In the southeast of China, the climate is humid, coupled with rainy days in May and June every year, paper products will rot over time, and folk paper-cutting is a popular thing. People don't keep it as a treasure, and they can cut it if it is broken. In the northwest of China, the weather is dry, the climate is dry, and the paper is not easy to get moldy, which may also be one of the important reasons for the discovery of paper-cutting in the Northern Dynasties in Turpan, Xinjiang.

Paper-cutting in Tang Dynasty-Paper-cutting in Tang Dynasty has been in a period of great development. There is a saying in Du Fu's poem that "warm water fills my feet, and paper-cutting calls my soul". The custom of paper-cutting calling my soul has spread among the people at that time. The paper-cut in the Tang Dynasty, which is now in the British Museum, shows that the paper-cut at that time had a high level of manual art and a complete picture composition, expressing an ideal realm between heaven and earth. Popular in the Tang Dynasty, the carved patterns of flowers and trees have the characteristics of paper-cutting. For example, the pattern of "Duiyang" in Masakura Hospital in Japan is a typical artistic expression of hand cutting. In the Tang dynasty, there was also block printing made of paper-cutting. People carved it into wax paper with thick paper, and then printed the dye on the cloth to form beautiful patterns. In Song Dynasty, the paper industry was mature and there were many kinds of paper products, which provided conditions for the popularization of paper-cutting. For example, it can be used as "fireworks" for folk gifts, "window grilles" pasted on windows, or as decorations for lanterns and teacups. The application scope of folk paper-cutting in Song Dynasty gradually expanded. Jiangxi Jizhou Kiln uses paper-cut as the pattern of ceramics, and makes the ceramics more exquisite by glazing and firing. Folk also use paper-cutting to carve figures in shadow play with the skins of animals such as donkeys, cows, horses and sheep. Carved version made of blue printed cloth, carved into patterns with oilpaper board, and scratched patterns made by paper-cutting technology, divided into yin and yang engraving. Long lines should be cut off to distinguish facts from truth. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the paper-cut handicraft art matured and reached its peak. Folk paper-cut handicraft art has a wider range of applications, such as flower decorations on folk lanterns, decorative patterns on fans and embroidery patterns, all of which are reprocessed with paper-cut as decoration. What's more, Chinese people often use paper-cutting as decoration to beautify the home environment, such as door battlements, window grilles, cabinet flowers, wedding flowers and ceiling flowers, which are all used to decorate doors, windows and rooms. In addition to the paper-binding pattern craftsmen who appeared after the Southern Song Dynasty, the most basic team of folk paper-cutting handicrafts in China is rural women. Female red is an important symbol of the perfection of traditional women in China. As a compulsory skill of needlework, paper-cutting has become a skill that girls have to learn since childhood. They want to learn paper-cut patterns from their predecessors or sisters, cut out new patterns through cutting, re-cutting, painting and cutting, and describe the natural scenery they are familiar with and love, the scenery of fish, insects, birds, beasts, flowers, trees, pavilions and bridges, and finally reach the realm of their will. China folk paper-cut handicraft art, like an ivy tree, is ancient and evergreen, and its unique popularity, practicality and aesthetics have become a symbolic meaning that meets people's psychological needs. Paper-cut Art Each art has its own unique artistic style. Paper-cutting materials (paper) and tools (scissors and carving knives) determine that paper-cutting has its own art.

Why do you want to decorate the Spring Festival with spring flowers? It can represent celebration and create the atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

If you don't post it, you won't be able to reflect the Spring Festival.

But in my hometown, I don't post spring flowers for the New Year. I only post door gods and Spring Festival couplets, even the trees in my yard.

Maybe the customs in the north and the south are different.

In the city, almost no one sticks couplets. If the spring flowers stick to the window, they can't be washed off, and it's also troublesome to clean the window. It is also expensive to find someone to clean them up.

So for modern people, spring flowers basically only have the meaning of traditional culture.

What do the New Year customs, stick grilles and inverted blessing mean? The custom of Spring Festival in China

Sacrificial furnace

In China, the Spring Festival usually begins with offering sacrifices to stoves. Twenty-three of the folk songs, twenty-three or twenty-four of the twelfth lunar month every year, honeydew melon sticks to the altar. There is a saying that officials, three people, four boatmen and five people hold altars on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, while ordinary people hold altars on the 24th and government boats hold altars on the 25th.

Sacrificing a stove is a kind of custom with great influence and wide spread among the people in our country. In the past, almost every kitchen had a kitchen god. People call this god Siming Bodhisattva or Chef Siming. It is said that he is Wang Fu, the chef of Jiu Tian Dong, who is in charge of the kitchen fires of various families and is worshipped as the head of the family. Kitchen shrines are mostly located in the north or east of the kitchen, with the idol of Kitchen God in the middle. Some people who don't have the niche of the Kitchen King even put the idol directly on the wall. Some gods only draw a kitchen god, while others have two men and women. The goddess is called grandma kitchen god. This is probably an imitation of the image of human lovers. Most of the statues of Kitchen God are also printed with this year's calendar, and the words "Chief Chef, God of Human Supervision, Head of the Family" are written to show the status of Kitchen God. Put couplets on both sides to protect the safety of the whole family.

Kitchen God has been staying at home to protect and supervise his family since last year's Eve. On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God will report the good deeds or evil deeds of this family to the Jade Emperor in heaven. The ceremony of sending the kitchen god is called sending the kitchen stove or resigning the kitchen stove. According to the report of Kitchen God, the Jade Emperor entrusted his family with the fate of good fortune and bad fortune in the new year. So for a family, Kitchen God's report is really interesting.

Sending stoves is usually held at dusk. The family went to the kitchen first, set the table, incense the kitchen god in the shrine on the kitchen wall, and present honeydew melons made of caramel and flour. Then tie the bamboo poles into paper horses and make them into animal feed. Sacrificing caramel to Kitchen God is to make his old man's mouth sweet. In some places, sugar is wrapped around the mouth of the kitchen god, saying: say more good things and don't say bad things. This is to block the kitchen god's mouth with sugar and tell him not to speak ill. In the Chronicle of the Old Times in the Tang Dynasty, it was occasionally recorded that Siming (Kitchen God) got drunk by smearing distiller's grains on the stove. People put sugar on the mouth of the Kitchen God, took off their idols and went to heaven with paper and cigarettes. In some places, sesame stalks and pine branches are piled in the yard at night, and then the statue of the kitchen god, which has been enshrined for a year, is taken out of the shrine and burned on the fire with paper horses and forage. The courtyard was brightly lit, and at this time, the family kowtowed around the fire, burning and praying: It's twenty-third this year, and I'm going to send the kitchen ruler to the Western Heaven. With strong horses and forage, you will arrive safely. Melon is sweet and sweet. Please speak kindly to the Jade Emperor.

When sending the Kitchen God, some beggars in some places dressed up, sang and danced to send the Kitchen God door to door, calling him a Kitchen God in exchange for food.

The custom of sending stoves is common all over China. Mr. Lu Xun once wrote the poem "A boxer sends a stove as a fact": only chicken glue smells good, and clothes smell good. If there is nothing at home, there are only a few antelopes.

He said in the article "The Day of Sending Kitchen Stove": On the day when Kitchen Jun went to heaven, there was a kind of sugar on the street, which was as big as a citrus, and we also had it there, but it was flat, like a thick pancake. That's the so-called' gum teeth'. The original intention is to invite the kitchen god to eat it and stick his teeth so that he can't speak ill of the jade emperor. The allusions to antelopes in Lu Xun's poems come from the Book of the Later Han Dynasty? Biography of Yin Shi: When Xuan Di proclaimed himself emperor, the person who gave birth to a son was the most filial and kind. Cooking in the morning of the twelfth day, seeing the kitchen god, the children have to worship and celebrate; There is an antelope at home, so it is worshipped. After the third one, he naturally became extremely rich. I know the third world, but I am prosperous, so I often recommend antelope to sacrifice the stove on the twelfth day. Yin Zifang met the Kitchen God and sacrificed the antelope. Later, she got lucky. Since then, the custom of killing antelopes to sacrifice stoves has been handed down.

"biographies of celebrities" books

Read Roman? Roland's Biography of Celebrities is emotional. Roman? Roland is a famous French writer in the 20th century. His works are a powerful spiritual pillar. The stories of Beethoven, Michelangelo and Tolstoy written in Who's Who have gone through all kinds of hardships and have not given in to their fate. They fought tirelessly at the last second of their lives and eventually became great people. This also tells us a truth: difficulties and setbacks are the best tempering of fate and life!

Among the three great men, Beethoven impressed me the most. His music Hot * * * has created many excellent works. His works are profound and brilliant, spectacular and full of fantasy. However, the disaster still arrival, or ruthless to his head, in 1802, he realized that his hearing impairment could not be cured, and will soon deteriorate. This means that he may never create it again! What a blow! But he can be tenacious and ill-fated, which may be the reason why he can write so many immortal works later. The spirit of compromise in life and destiny is exactly what we should learn. The great and unyielding soul makes the light and hope of the dark world come alive.

Reading Beethoven's story reminds me of Helen? Keller-a man with strong willpower. Her life is also unfortunate. Her childhood, a serious illness, made her little daughter deaf, dumb and blind. In her world, without color and sound, she can't express her thoughts. The injustice of fate did not make her lose hope. She is eager to know everything and make her redouble her efforts to become one of the most influential figures in the19th century.

Beethoven, Helen? Keller encountered different hardships in his life, but they shared the same spirit-never give in to fate! This not only makes me admire, but also makes me think deeply. As a middle school student, in the 2 1 century, social competition is becoming more and more fierce, homework is getting more and more, and learning difficulties are getting more and more. We are facing many difficulties and pressures. Do we also need this spirit? Yes! When encountering difficulties and poor academic performance, let our "Beethoven light shine our eyes again." With firm faith, facing setbacks, with tenacious perseverance, to achieve the ideal.

By the French writer Roman? Roland's Who's Who. A world celebrity who has written three books. The first is a German composer: Beethoven; Another talented Italian sculptor Michelangelo, the last famous Russian writer: Tolstoy.

What moved me most was the story of Beethoven. Beethoven is a musical genius. His gift was discovered by his father long ago. Unfortunately, Bedo? Finn's father is not a competent father, and Bedo is addicted to the piano. Regardless of his emotions, he kept training him, and sometimes he even took Beethoven and violin into a room, locked it up all day, and forced him to learn music by violence. Beethoven's miserable childhood, his mother died, he 16 years old, and his father became a dissolute alcoholic. These unfortunate pressures left a deep scar on Beethoven's head, which led to his bad temper and eccentricity. However, Beethoven did not sink, and his energy was devoted to the cause of loving music. Thanks to his talent and diligence, he soon became famous. When he was drunk, music brought him happiness. Unfortunately, he was deaf. For a musician, the most important thing rings in his ear. Great musicians, such as Beethoven, live by their music, but the deaf people's ears can't accept it.

Beethoven's life is tragic, but it is also full of disasters, but why did he succeed? Why can't ordinary people do anything? Can he do it? This caused me to think. In my opinion, Beethoven is successful because it has superhuman perseverance and spirit of struggle. He is fearless in the face of difficulties. This is the secret of his success.

In daily life, when we encounter difficulties, we often think of asking others for help, rather than the determination to face difficulties and have to solve them. Beethoven, with a strange temper, no one wants to make friends with him, so he has to fight alone in the face of difficulties. Although lonely, I learned something that others can't: as long as I give myself unlimited courage, then a terrible enemy can be defeated.

Finally, I hope people all over the world can remember to live like Beethoven and Beethoven.

Why does stick grilles * * stick grilles * * celebrate the New Year?

New Year greeting is a traditional folk custom in China, and it is a way for people to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and express their best wishes to each other.

In ancient times, the original meaning of the word "Happy New Year" was to pay New Year greetings to the elderly, including kowtowing to the elderly, congratulating them on a happy New Year and greeting their lives. In case of friends and relatives of the same generation, you should also salute and congratulate.

New Year greetings usually begin at home. On the morning of the first day, after getting up, the younger generation should first pay a New Year call to their elders, wishing them a long and healthy life and all the best. After the elders worship, they should distribute the lucky money prepared in advance to the younger generation. After greeting the elders at home, you should also greet people with a smile when you go out to meet them, and exchange auspicious words such as congratulations on getting rich, good luck in the four seasons and happy New Year. Neighbors, relatives and friends will also visit each other, pay New Year greetings to each other or invite them to drink and entertain.

In the sixth volume of Dream of China in Tokyo, the elder Meng described the cloud of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty as follows: On October 1st, Kaifengfu was closed for three days, and scholars celebrated each other early. In Volume 5 of Miscellaneous Notes on the Garden in the Middle Ming Dynasty, Lu Rong said that on New Year's Day in the capital, people crossed the road from the official to Shu Ren for several days, which was called "New Year greetings". However, everyone in Shu Ren worships his relatives and friends. Officials contact each other and love more than professionals. Gu Tieqing, a Qing man, described in Jia Qinglu that when men and women pay homage to their parents, the host leads them to be humble and obedient, visit relatives and friends, or stop sending their children to congratulate them, which is called "New Year greetings". For those who don't see each other for life, it's also time to say goodbye to each other.

In ancient times, the literati in the upper class used the custom of greeting each other with famous cards. Hui Zhou, a poet of the Song Dynasty, said in Qingbo magazine: During the Song Dynasty, servants were often used to stab people in the name of the New Year. At that time, the scholar-officials had a wide circle of friends, and it took time and energy to pay New Year greetings everywhere. Therefore, some close friends did not go in person, but sent their servants to take a card cut with plum blossom stationery, two inches wide and three inches long, with the recipient's name, address and congratulations written on it. In the Ming dynasty, people visited instead of paying New Year's greetings. Wen Zhiming, an outstanding painter and poet in the Ming Dynasty, described in the poem "New Year": I don't meet each other, I just want to talk, and my famous articles are full; I also throw some paper at people. The world hates simplicity. Don't be too empty. The name thorn and name mentioned here is the origin of today's New Year card. New Year cards are used to connect feelings and exchange greetings, which are convenient and practical and still popular today.

From about the Qing Dynasty, the form of collective worship was added to New Year greetings. In "Jade Tan with a Hat on the Side", the Lord of the Qing Dynasty said: At the beginning of the year, the capital made a routine group worship in order to unite the friendship of the New Year and express the nostalgia. Every year, he has to book guests, have a banquet and have a good day.

With the development of the times, the custom of New Year greetings is constantly adding new contents and forms. Nowadays, in addition to following the previous way of greeting the New Year, etiquette telegrams and telephone greetings have mushroomed.

When I was in stick grilles, I used double-sided adhesive for the New Year, but I tore off the window grilles, but the double-sided adhesive could not peel off the glass. What should I do if the coarse cloth is dipped in wind oil essence?
