Talk about #ArtGoals! Shi Junfeng, a master of Fengning Manchu paper-cutting, recently left audiences spellbound at a cultural exhibition in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. With scissors flying faster than a TikTok scroll, she crafted a delicate paper gourd adorned with the Chinese character \"shou\" (寿) – a symbol of longevity and good health – in mere moments.
This 300-year-old craft from Chengde in Hebei Province isn't just about speed. The intricate designs featuring flowers, birds, and folklore patterns represent a living bridge between generations. \"Every cut carries our ancestors' wisdom,\" Shi shared, her creations blending tradition with modern appeal – imagine ancient emojis telling stories through paper!
As young creators globally rediscover handicrafts, Fengning's paper-cutting proves that cultural heritage can trend anywhere – from museum exhibitions to Instagram feeds. Who knew scissors could be this cool?
