The old man created a 1 1 meter-long hand-torn painting of The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, which was collected by the museum. How to evaluate the skills of the elderly?

As soon as the news came out, the hand-torn painting of The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival created by the old man attracted a lot of netizens' attention. Maybe some people don't know what a hand-torn picture is. Hand-torn painting, as a purely manual and difficult skill, is difficult to inherit. It's no exaggeration to say that there are only a handful of people who can tear up pictures, but Liu Jie, as a folk artist, has passed on this skill. Judging from the news and pictures exposed at present, the old man's craftsmanship has obviously reached its peak, which can be proved by tearing the picture by hand and copying the complete picture of the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival.

Strictly speaking, hand-torn painting can be regarded as the intangible cultural heritage of China. As a skill passed down from ancient times to the present, the difficulty of hand-torn painting can definitely rank among all kinds of intangible cultural heritage. It is not difficult to tear a painting by hand without discussing the aesthetic feeling, but if many factors such as the aesthetic feeling of the work are considered in the process of tearing by hand, the difficulty will increase greatly, not to mention creating a picture of the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival by hand like the old man Liu Jie. It is no exaggeration to say that the old man's craftsmanship is perfect.

In fact, 63-year-old Liu Jie also mentioned his hand-painted learning process in an interview. According to him, Liu Jie studied hand-drawing with his grandmother as early as childhood, which means that Liu Jie has studied hand-drawing for at least 50 years, and 50 years can completely turn a novice into a master. The old man in Liu Jie is a good example. Judging from the difficulty and beauty of hand-torn painting, this work can definitely be called excellent, which is also the fundamental reason why the World Skills Museum wants to collect this work.

With the continuous development and replacement of the times, more and more people begin to ignore folk crafts, which is also the fundamental reason for the decline of many intangible cultural heritages. However, even under such circumstances, there are still many craftsmen who insist, and Liu Jie is one of them. There is no doubt that he deserves our respect.
