Traditional culture "paper cutting" (a)

China is an ancient country, the traditional culture is far-reaching and colorful. There are folk craft ceramics, national art theater, Chinese painting, customs Dragon Boat Festival race, Lantern Festival lanterns and so on, but the most noteworthy is the folk art of paper cutting.

Paper cutting is China's folk art treasure, is a wonder of folk art, see people envy, tsk tsk. The content of paper-cutting contains a strong flavor of life. Birds, insects, fish, animals, flowers, trees, pavilions and bridges. These people are familiar with and love the natural landscape has become the pattern of people's paper-cutting. Whenever the New Year or festivals or happy events, people have to cut some of the "Fu", "happy", "life" and other stickers in the window, the door to express the celebration.

Look, this paper-cutting work is very interesting. A little mouse in a colorful dress dragged a long tail, his eyes darting search in all directions, fearing that it was found to be stealing lamp oil. But God as if against him, the gourd of the lamp oil all flowed to the ground, the little mouse as fast as possible, jumped down from the lampstand lying on the ground, stretching out the sword-like tongue licking greedily on the ground of the lamp oil, that funny look is really funny!

The paper-cutting artist cut the zodiac is also vivid, but also exquisite. Even foreigners are surprised, thumbs up and praise. The twelve Chinese zodiac signs were printed into stamps to fly around the world, so that people all over the world to recognize China's profound paper-cutting culture.

It's so beautiful! It reflects the folk artist's dexterity, he is a display of the ingenuity of the working people, is the crystallization of traditional folk culture. I also want to cut out a pair of folk artists as exquisite works of paper-cutting, sent to foreign children, so that they understand the Chinese art of paper-cutting, so that paper-cutting become a bridge between Chinese and foreign cultural exchanges.

The Analects of Confucius (2)

1, Zi said: "To learn from the past is not to say? The first thing I'd like to say is that I'd like to have a friend come from afar, and I'd like to be happy. People do not know and not huff, not also a gentleman?" ("Learning and Learning")

The origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival (3)

The Mid-Autumn Festival has a long history, as with other traditional festivals, it is also the slow development of the formation of the ancient emperors had a spring festival of the sun, the moon in the fall of the ritual, as early as in the book of the "Rites of the Zhou", there has been the word "mid-autumn" recorded.

Later, the nobles and scholars also followed suit, in the mid-autumn festival, to the sky and bright and round round moon, ornamental worship, send sentiments, this custom is so spread to the people, forming a traditional activity, until the Tang Dynasty, this moon festival custom more people attach importance to, the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed festival, "Tang Book - Taizong Records," recorded in the "August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival

Customs of Qingming Festival (4)

There is another way of saying that the original Chinese people to Qingming, July 30 and October Solstice for the three major ghosts, is the time of the ghosts out to discuss. People in order to prevent the ghosts of the persecution of the infestation, and inserted willow wear willow. Willow in people's minds have the function of warding off evil spirits. Influenced by Buddhism, people believe that the willow can be but ghosts, and called "ghosts horror wood", Guan Shiyin to willow branches dipped in water to help all beings. Northern Wei JiaSiFu "qimin yaojutsu" said: "take willow branches on the household, a hundred ghosts do not enter the home." Qingming is a ghost festival, the willow sprouting season, people have naturally inserted willow wear willow to ward off evil spirits.

Traditional Chinese virtues (five)

The Chinese people have a long history of culture, oriental cultural virtues for thousands of years, every Chinese, must have their own country's traditional virtues. There are many Chinese virtues, such as courtesy, modesty, respect for the elderly and love for children and so on.

Let's take the story of "Kong Rong gave up his pear" as an example! Kong Rong, at a young age, knew that he had to give up the big pear to those who were bigger and smaller than himself, while he, himself, took the smallest pear all by himself. This is one of the Chinese virtues - honor the old and love the young.

Uncle Lei Feng, always worthy of our respect, because he has a lot of Chinese virtues in the flash. Chinese virtues everyone can have, the key is to see if you want to have, solidarity with your classmates you have the Chinese virtues; modest and good learning you have the Chinese virtues; for mom and dad to wash your feet once you also have the Chinese virtues ......

Virtue, is the best, the purest, the highest crystallization of human nature, which originates from the life and into the life, as long as we are attentive to the realization of the Chinese people.

To reflect personal virtues in small things, honor and disgrace in the hands and feet. For example, there are many ways to honor the old and love the young: to help parents pour a water, play with the younger siblings ...... these small things, can show a virtue. Another example is that some people on the street now throw things, so that the street has become littered with garbage, what plastic paper, fruit leather can be seen everywhere, so that the cleaners are busy every day, early and late. Ask for those who threw the garbage, if you are a cleaner, what will you think in your heart? Wouldn't it be very uncomfortable? Therefore, I want to tell those who littered the people: "quickly reflect on it, do not litter again, to do a will not litter the Chinese people!

Speaking of littering, I think of its twin brother: spitting. Spitting is also a bad habit, spitting spit into the ground, it will cause air pollution, to you, to me, to everyone is not good.

In fact, to not do this is very simple, as long as the heart of this belief, there is a concept of honor and shame, this littering, spitting phenomenon will not occur again.

Chinese virtues are also helpful. When students have difficulties, we must go to help him, and should not scorn him. Or, when there is an empty seat in the public **** car, we have to look at our side first to see if there is an old man or physically challenged people, then we have to give the seat to those people to sit. In fact, when a virtue usual to the most subtle habits, this may be a quality of sublimation.
