生长在剪纸艺术沃土之中

Growing in the fertile soil of paper cutting art

地处山西东北部的广灵县已有三千多年的剪纸历史，据《吕氏春秋•重言》篇里记载，周成王和弟弟叔虞玩的时候，用桐叶剪成玉圭的样子递给叔虞，说：“我就用这个来分封你吧。”几天后，周公请求周成王选择吉日封叔虞为诸侯，成王说：“我和他开玩笑呢。”周公道：“天子无戏言。天子说出的话，史官要如实记载它，乐工要唱诵它，士大夫要传扬它。”据说这就最早的剪纸雏形。在剪纸作品里，不仅展现着作者的艺术理念，更包含着一种做人的诚信。

Guangling County, which is located in the northeast of Shanxi Province, has a paper-cut history of more than 3000 years. According to the chapter "Lu's spring and Autumn Annals · Chongyan", King Chengwang of Zhou Dynasty and his brother Shuyu cut Tung leaves into Yugui and handed them to Shuyu, saying, "I'll use this to seal you up." A few days later, Duke of Zhou asked King Cheng of Zhou to choose Jiri to make Shuyu a vassal. King Cheng said, "I'm kidding him." Zhou gongdao: "the son of heaven has no joking words. What the emperor said, the Historiographer should record it truthfully, the musicians should recite it, and the scholar officials should publicize it. " It is said that this is the earliest paper-cut prototype. In the paper-cut works, not only shows the author's artistic concept, but also contains a kind of integrity.

1972年，高清红出生在广灵县山清水秀的斗山脚下东加斗村一个剪纸世家。母亲是当地闻名的剪纸艺人，在母亲的熏陶下，他从小就对剪纸情有独钟，从4岁起就随外祖母，母亲学做剪纸，从那时开始，高清红心中便萌发了一个美好的愿望，要像妈妈那样剪出更精美的窗花（剪纸）来，让更多的人都贴在窗户上。兴趣是最大的动力，正是这种爱好，上初中时她就创作出了许多剪纸作品。

In 1972, HD Hong was born in a paper-cut family at the foot of Doushan mountain in Guangling county. His mother is a famous local paper-cut artist. Under his mother's influence, he had a special love for paper cutting since he was young. From the age of 4, he learned to make paper-cut with his grandmother and his mother. From then on, a good wish has sprouted in high-definition hearts. He wants to cut more beautiful window decorations (paper cuts) like his mother, so that more people can paste them on the windows. Interest is the biggest motivation, it is this hobby, she created a lot of paper-cut works in junior high school.

21岁那年，高清红进入县水泥厂工作，虽忙碌工作但剪纸不停，在广灵这块有着悠久剪纸艺术传统的沃土中，除继承家传的剪纸（窗花）艺术技巧外，还虚心向周围的剪纸能人请教，不断创新，最终使自己的作品挂到了世界最高舞台，把中国传统的剪纸艺术推向了世界。她本人也成了中国广灵剪纸艺术第六代传人，中国国家级工艺美术大师。

At the age of 21, HD Hong entered the county cement plant to work. Although she was busy working, she kept cutting paper. In Guangling, a fertile land with a long tradition of paper-cut art, in addition to inheriting the art skills of paper-cut (window decoration) handed down by her family, she also sincerely consulted and innovated the paper-cut talents around her. Finally, she made her own works on the world's highest stage and pushed the traditional Chinese paper-cut art forward The world. She has also become the sixth generation of Guangling paper-cut art and a national master of Arts and crafts in China.

草根艺术的创业长成

Entrepreneurship and growth of grassroots Art

1996年，高清红在县城租下了一间房子，收了6个徒弟，成立了青红刻画艺术创作室。在她的教授下一批心灵手巧、技艺精湛的剪纸艺人很快成长起来。16年来，她将一个小作坊式的加工点打造成了一个现有展厅和制作车间共占地面积3000多平方米。能进行创意设计、多层制作、外框加工和配套装裱一条龙制作的文化艺术公司，是国家阳光工程和雨露计划工程培训基地，已为国家培训剪纸人才1000多人。

In 1996, HD Hong rented a house in the county, took in six apprentices, and set up the Qinghong portrait art studio. Under her professor, a group of ingenious and skilled paper-cut artists quickly grew up. Over the past 16 years, she has transformed a small workshop into an existing exhibition hall and production workshop, covering an area of more than 3000 square meters. The culture and art company, which can carry out creative design, multi-layer production, outer frame processing and supporting mounting, is the training base of national sunshine project and rain dew project, and has trained more than 1000 paper-cut talents for the country.

“广灵青红剪纸”虽然成了当地的知名品牌，但如何走向市场，让更多的国人认可这一传统民间艺术让高清红遇到了一系列难题。

Although "Guangling Qinghong paper cutting" has become a well-known local brand, how to go to the market and let more people recognize this traditional folk art makes HD red encounter a series of problems.

首先是作品的内容，中国的剪纸艺术发源民间，其表现的内容一直以自然界中的花鸟鱼兽和表达人们对福、禄、禧、寿多子多孙等祈求愿望为主要内容。让人们有一种“窗花年年换，只有红纸新”的感觉。如何让传统题材焕发新意，高清红费劲了心思，她从“越是民族的，就越是世界的”的这句话里受到了启发，借鉴绘画，陶艺等艺术作品中的取材方法，大胆设计用剪纸艺术创作了宋代张择端的名画《清明上河图》，一炮打响。

The first is the content of the work. The Chinese paper-cut art originated from the folk. The main content of its expression has been the flowers, birds, fish and animals in nature and people's wishes for happiness, wealth, happiness and longevity. Let people have a kind of "window decorations change year by year, only red paper new" feeling. How to make the traditional theme glow with new ideas, high definition red worked hard. She was inspired by the sentence "the more national, the more world-wide". Drawing on the drawing methods of art works such as painting and ceramic art, she boldly designed and created the famous painting "riverside painting at Qingming Festival" by Zhang Zeduan of Song Dynasty with paper cutting art, which was a hit.

其次是剪纸艺术作品的收藏保存，中国的剪纸艺术虽然有三千多年的历史，应该说历朝历代都应有精湛的作品，但并没有实物作品流传下来，主要原因由于剪纸作品是通过剪刻镂空后，由线条或块面组成的图案，牵一发而动全身，加上用料的不同以及装裱技术的影响而不能保存长久，所以如何保存好剪纸作品，使剪纸作品能有收藏价值，是高清红面对的又一难题。

The second is the collection and preservation of paper-cut art works. Although Chinese paper-cut art has a history of more than 3000 years, it should be said that all dynasties should have exquisite works, but no physical works have been handed down. The main reason is that the paper-cut works are cut and carved, and the patterns are composed of lines or blocks, which move the whole body by pulling one hair, plus the different materials and the effect of mounting technology Therefore, how to preserve paper-cut works well and make them have collection value is another problem faced by HD red.

高清红始终认为艺术在于创新，只有创新的艺术，才有更加旺盛的生命力。于是她在继承广灵传统剪纸艺术的基础上，又对剪纸艺术进行了专心探索。她采取干裱法，攻克了剪纸“难装裱，易褪色”的难题。现在由她公司装裱的礼品性广灵剪纸档次提高了，也更具有了艺术收藏价值。

High definition red always thinks that art lies in innovation. Only innovative art can have more vigorous vitality. Therefore, on the basis of inheriting Guangling's traditional paper-cut art, she made a concentrated exploration on paper-cut art. She adopted dry mounting method to overcome the problem of "difficult mounting and easy fading" in paper cutting. Now Guangling paper-cut, which is framed by her company, is of higher grade and more valuable for art collection.

2008年的奥运会给高清红的艺术创作提供了展示的机会，为了表现全国人民企盼奥运的喜悦心情，她决定亲手剪制一幅《五十六个民族迎奥运》的大型剪纸艺术作品。为使作品达到最佳的艺术效果，让外国友人欣赏到中华民族博大精深的艺术瑰宝，高清红进行了最完美的构思和设计，经过两个多月的创意，6个多月的制作，宽3米，长3.3米的巨型剪纸作品终于圆满完成。

The 2008 Olympic Games provided an opportunity for HD Hong's artistic creation to show. In order to show the joy of the people all over the country looking forward to the Olympic Games, she decided to cut a large-scale paper-cut art work of "56 nationalities meet the Olympic Games". In order to make the works achieve the best artistic effect and let foreign friends appreciate the broad and profound art treasures of the Chinese nation, HD red has carried out the most perfect conception and design. After more than two months of creativity and more than six months of production, the giant paper-cut work of 3m in width and 3.3m in length has been successfully completed.

2008年8月8日，随着奥运会旗的徐徐升起，高清红的巨幅剪纸作品也在祥云小屋展出，来自五大洲的国际友人，在欣赏了高清红的剪纸作品后，都伸出了大拇指，赞叹东方民族文化的神奇。奥运会期间还同时展出了她的《祥云牡丹》、《中国故事》、《长城》剪纸作品。为此，高清红的剪纸作品被奥组委文化活动部奥运会文化活动处授予特殊贡献奖》。

On August 8, 2008, with the rising of the Olympic flag, the huge paper-cut works of high-definition red were also displayed in Xiangyun cottage. International friends from five continents, after enjoying the high-definition red paper-cut works, all extended their thumbs and praised the magic of Oriental national culture. During the Olympic Games, she also exhibited paper-cut works of "Xiangyun peony", "Chinese story" and "the Great Wall". For this reason, HD red paper cutting works were awarded special contribution award by the Olympic cultural activities division of the cultural activities department of the Olympic Organizing Committee.
