The origin of paper cutting
Because China culture is handed down from God, many of our cultural categories are handed down from God, on the one hand, to enrich human culture, on the other hand, to show the characteristics of our own lives. What is this article about? Paper cutting? The story of origin:
In the Han dynasty, shortly after the invention of paper, a scholar (I was) was very down and out. At home, he has a wife Jed who is in poor health and a boy Jasper who is 6 or 7 years old.
This scholar is really talented, but nobody appreciates him and cares about him. Besides, I'm clumsy, so it's not good to do anything else. Fortunately, sometimes my wife helps others, helps people make some clothes to earn some money, and lives in such a difficult environment! To my relief, my jasper is very sensible and obedient. Although she is very young, she helps her mother cook and wash dishes, and never competes with other children.
This winter is particularly cold. As the year is approaching, Jed feels a little uncomfortable and can't stay for several days. Seeing that there is only a little rice left at home, I am very anxious. If I need to write, I will go to some big families to beg, because I am honest and unwilling to ask others for anything. But those big families are not interested in it. But I have to go home hungry.
It snowed heavily on the road, and the whistling north wind made me particularly cold. I hurried home, and when I was near the door, I found an old lady lying there in rags, leaning on a stick in her left hand and holding a broken bowl in her right hand. I'm sorry to see this. I quickly helped the old man up and helped her into the house.
When I entered the room, I told Yus why Jasper offered to boil water. Like Yu Qiang, she supported her weak body, took out a little rice left at home and cooked a big bowl of porridge. At this time, the old man woke up slowly. I quickly made the porridge so that it didn't burn my mouth and let the old man drink it slowly.
It was getting late, and the old man seemed to understand something and asked, Did you save me? Let's eat together! Jade said,? We are not hungry, grandpa, please eat first! ?
? Alas! Then I will eat first! ? The old man said helplessly.
I'm worried about dinner now, but I can't say anything, so I took out my pen and wrote one on a selected piece of paper. Fu? Words. The old man seems to have recovered a lot after drinking this bowl of gruel. So I stood up and looked around the room. At first glance, it looks very poor, with almost nothing.
Look at the seemingly jade and say, son, you are not feeling well! Like jade, it is like this every year, until this time in winter, the body is always uncomfortable. The old man took out something similar to herbs from his arms and said, boil some water, put it in, boil the water and drink it, and your illness will be fine!
Turn around and read what I wrote? Fu? Words, pick it up as if to see the truth, but I don't know, she tore it with her hands three times and five times! I was in a hurry. I finally found this paper. Our family saved you. The Spring Festival is coming soon. Our family wants to put blessings on it and pray for good luck next year, but? .
Why did you tear it up?
The old man said unhurriedly: Tear me? Fu? Open the word and see what it looks like. Jasper ran curiously and slowly unfolded it. Ah, we have never seen a blessing surrounded by big fish, and after that? Tear? After that, the word "fu" is more stereoscopic! I was so happy that I couldn't even close my mouth, so I held this paper on my chest for his mother to see, and said it looked good!
Before we could say anything, the old man took some money out of his pocket and said, I can see that you can give me the last bowl of rice, which shows that your family is a virtuous family. What you are suffering at present is actually a disaster! It should be over by now. I have some money here, so you can buy some rice for your wife and children for a good year. Your wife will never get sick, and your children will have a good future in the future. Besides, I will tell your wife how to turn ordinary words into such things in the future. Paper? Take it to the market and those rich families, and you will definitely get a good price! ?
As he spoke, he told Yu how to do this craft well.
Only then did we realize that we met a fairy today, so I knelt on the ground with jade and jasper and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, who is it? The old man seemed a little surprised and kept saying, I am not a fairy. I was just entrusted by a fairy to come to the world to see if there were any virtuous and kind people, and then I passed this skill on to him. When I came, the fairy asked me to come to you and see if you could do it. If you can, I will pass on this skill to you. If not, we must find someone else. Great, meet again in two thousand years. Don't forget this! ?
? After two thousand years or so? We don't understand? Jade is very puzzled.
? Why is it so painful to feel virtuous? It is because all this is to accumulate your blessings. After about two thousand years, you will meet countless good things that God wants to meet. At that time, we were still waiting to borrow your light
Then the old man touched Xiaojiabiyu's head, held him in his arms and said, will this child become a child in the future? Kindness and purity, wisdom and blue heart? Excellent talents!
We were confused at that time. I don't know when the old man left. I first bought some rice and paper with money, wrote the word "Fu", and then asked Xiaoyu to make paper-cuts. Xiaoyu also helped, because others couldn't. My family's paper-cut sells very well. Near the end of the year, every family is proud of sticking paper-cuts.
Of course, my family is getting better and better, and the county is no longer sick. Jasper later went to school and met a very talented teacher. His knowledge grew rapidly and later became a very important minister and official prime minister of North Korea. These will not be written in detail. This is exactly:
