Present situation of Xiaogan carved paper-cutting development

The fertile soil of filial piety culture is nourished and nourished, and the encouragement and urging of modern social life make Xiaogan paper-cutting keep pace with the times. However, the seemingly ordinary carved paper-cut is extremely laborious to create, which embodies the painstaking efforts and infinite wisdom of artists. Although there has been glory, with the changes of the times, the traditional aesthetic concept has gradually weakened and the demand has declined; Under the impact of the spring tide of market economy, small and scattered manual labor has not adapted to today's "scale effect", the ratio of efficiency to cost has risen, and the market has become increasingly depressed. Due to the meager profits and fewer and fewer people, many artists gradually faded out of the creative stage and ended their artistic careers helplessly. What is more serious is that most of the descendants in the past are old and have passed away, and the carved paper-cuts are in danger of being lost. It is urgent to save this precious heritage.
