The moral of paper-cut teapot

Liu Guojun

? The connotation of China culture is extremely profound. A chicken, a cat, a rabbit and a sheep all have profound cultural meanings.

? Jǐn is a container for wine, a ladle for wine. In ancient times, there was a ceremony for marriage, that is, the newlyweds each raised 30 cups and drank a toast. Over time, this ceremony of drinking a glass of wine was fixed as marriage, and later it was extended to marriage. With the development of social handicrafts, wine gradually declined, and drinking was replaced by pots and cups, so pots and cups inherited the meaning of a happy marriage.

? Teapots and bowls cover the northwest of China. When young men get married, mothers cut flowers for each other and stick them on the window of the bridal chamber door, symbolizing the combination of yin and yang and the marriage of men and women. I wish my children love and happiness and their children grow old together. It is a traditional paper-cut pattern, symbolizing the continuation of life. Because "Fu" and "pot" are homophonic, paper-cut works reflecting marriage are often represented by gourd or pot and bowl cover. The two bowls are interlocking, and the lid on the pot symbolizes the meaning of marriage. It means having a baby early.
