1, Chinese paper-cutting can be roughly divided into four categories from the specific use:
Posting means directly pasting on doors, windows, walls, lanterns and ribbons for decoration. Such as window grilles, wall flowers, ceiling flowers, cigarette lattices, lantern flowers, paper-tied flowers, and door stickers; As a lining, it is used to decorate gifts, dowries, sacrifices and offerings. Such as happy flowers, flowers, fireworks, candlestick flowers, fragrant flowers, Chongyang flag and so on.
Embroidered patterns are used in clothes, shoes, hats and pillows. Such as shoe flower, pillow flower, hat flower, bib flower, sleeve flower and suspender flower; Printing and dyeing, that is, as a printing plate of blue printed cloth, is used for clothing, quilts, door curtains, bags, bibs, headscarves and so on.
2. The ancient fabrics in China mainly included embroidery, embroidery and applique. There are many kinds of embroidery stitches, such as laying stitches, plain stitches, scattered stitches, punching, looping, inlaying gold, knitting embroidery, locking embroidery and so on.
Cross stitch is also called cross stitch. This stitch is suitable for practical products such as clothes, handkerchiefs, headscarves, waists, door curtains and curtains. This is the earliest widely circulated stitch in embroidery. Cloth applique is an embroidery technique, which combines small pieces of cloth with different colors to form various patterns. In ancient times, there was a custom of dressing children with "hundred clothes", that is, collecting various colors of cloth from neighbors to make children's clothes, which meant protecting and guarding peace.
Matters needing attention
1, folk paper-cutting is good at combining a variety of objects and images to produce ideal and beautiful effects. No matter whether one or more image combinations are used, they are modeled by "image implication" and "meaning conformation", rather than by objective natural forms. At the same time, they are also good at using metaphor and combining conventional images to create various mascots to express their psychology.
Pursuing auspicious metaphor has become one of the ultimate goals of image combination. The geographical closure and cultural limitations, as well as the intrusion of adversity such as natural disasters, aroused people's desire for a happy life. People pray for ample food and clothing, prosperity, health and longevity, and all the best. This simple wish is conveyed through paper-cutting.
2, bedding fabric must choose pure cotton fabric, pure cotton fabric absorbs sweat and is soft, which is conducive to sweat glands "breathing" and health, and feels soft, which is very easy to create a sleeping atmosphere.
In addition to paying special attention to the choice of materials, we should also work hard on the choice of colors and patterns. The small bedroom space should be decorated with striped cloth with natural colors and rich imagination, which will have the effect of extending the bedroom space; Light-colored furniture should choose light pink, pink green and other elegant floral fabrics; For dark furniture, dark green, dark blue and other colors are excellent choices.
