In Chinese paper-cut works, images such as animals and plants are often used to express specific meanings. For example, in China, the dragon is a symbol of power and prestige, but it is often combined with the phoenix in paper cutting. People in China often use "the dragon and phoenix are auspicious" to express their blessings to the couple, while the red paper-cut flying like a dragon and phoenix symbolizes the joy, happiness and happiness when they are newly married. Another example is the "Fish Jumping at the Dragon Gate", where a big carp is cut out and jumps over the towering and spectacular dragon gate, symbolizing a leap to change one's destiny and future by going up a flight of stairs. If you need to congratulate on the theme of prolonging life, you can use metaphors such as pine trees, cranes, peaches and longevity.
For example, cutting "heart to heart" means using two hearts to overlap each other to express the affinity of husband and wife. "Peace in Four Seasons" expresses the meaning of stability and peace with the straight bottom of the bottle, while plum blossom, winter jasmine, lotus flower and chrysanthemum represent all seasons of the year. Crane? It means prolonging life. In ancient times, it was under a bird and above ten thousand birds, second only to the phoenix. The pattern woven by official uniforms in Ming and Qing dynasties is "crane". At the same time, the crane is the first of its kind, and it has been called "one bird" since ancient times, which means the first. Cranes represent longevity and wealth. According to legend, it can live for thousands of years.
The shape of the snake in the golden snake is very similar to a string of ancient copper coins strung together with a rope, so the snake is also called "rich snake", which means wealth. "Long happiness" is to make use of the characteristics that Chinese knots and orb knots have no beginning and no end, and wish happiness for a long time. Happiness is just around the corner. Use ancient copper coins with holes in the center, that is, eyes, to express the ideal that happiness is just around the corner.
Happiness uses the moire in the shape of "Ruyi" in the ancient court to express the beautiful meaning of happiness. Lucky dragon and phoenix? One of the traditional auspicious patterns in China. In the traditional concept of our country, both dragons and phoenixes are the most sacred auspicious animals, and they all represent auspiciousness. The combination of dragon and phoenix represents a festive event. In the pattern of dragons and phoenixes, dragons and phoenixes usually occupy half each. The dragon is a rising dragon. Open your mouth and turn your body. Looking back, it looked at the phoenix, which is a auspicious peak, spreading its wings and raising its tail, looking up at the dragon. There are many clouds around Longfeng, which is peaceful.
In addition, many paper-cuts use homophones in Chinese characters. For example, the paper-cut "All the Best" is to use "persimmon" and "thing" as homophones. "Mei" and "Mei" are homophonic. "Five Blessingg Peng Shou" is homophonic with the word "bat" of bat and the word "fu" of happiness, so the bat in paper-cutting represents happiness. The word "chicken" in "good luck" and "good luck" is homophonic, so chicken means good luck and peace. The word "Lian" and the conjunctions "Lian", "Fish" and "Ying" in "Over a Year" are homophonic words, which represent the richness of life.
The word "heron" of an egret is homophonic with the word "road" all the way, and the word "lotus" of a lotus is homophonic with the word "continuation", which means wishing candidates success in continuous examinations. The word "bottle" is homophonic with the word "level" and "promotion" and "promotion", "auspicious" and "rank", which are used to wish safe promotion and prosperous career.
In the region, "bat" and "blessing", "deer" and "deer" are homophonic, which are used to express good wishes. The homophony of the ear of wheat and the ear of grain in the paper-cut of "Peace through the Year" is a common blessing theme in the Spring Festival. The appearance of these window grilles not only sets off the festive atmosphere, but also brings auspicious meanings and wonderful enjoyment to people.
