Traditional Festival Crafts in China

China is vast in territory and abundant in resources, with a long history. The traditional handicraft culture in China is the intellectual carrier of the working people. Traditional festivals in China are part of the long history and culture of the Chinese nation, including Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and so on, with various forms and rich contents. The most important festival is the Spring Festival. During the Spring Festival, handicrafts are colorful. During the Spring Festival, there are many kinds of celebration activities, such as lion dance, Chinese New Year Festival, burning fireworks, walking on stilts, roller boating, yangko and so on. During the Spring Festival, we put up couplets, cut window grilles, celebrate the New Year, have a family reunion dinner and pay New Year greetings everywhere. However, due to different local customs, the nuances have their own characteristics. Festival folk culture is an important carrier of inheriting Chinese national culture.

1 window paper

Window grilles are paper-cut pasted on window paper or window glass, which is one of the ancient traditional folk arts in China. It has a long history and unique style, and is deeply loved by people at home and abroad. The paper-cutting steps of window grilles are not very simple, and it takes a long time to practice.

New Year picture

New Year pictures are folk painting art in China. As early as the Yao and Shun period, people painted New Year pictures on woodblock, also known as woodblock New Year pictures. Hanging New Year pictures is a Spring Festival activity to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Nowadays, many rural areas still have the custom of hanging New Year pictures.

3 Kite

When celebrating the Spring Festival, the earth warms up, the weather is fine, and people fly kites in succession. When I was a child, I liked flying kites best, which brought me great fun and reflected people's healthy enterprising spirit and pursuit of happiness.
