中英雙語話中國民風民俗 第103期:中國剪紙的特點
With a vast territory and multi-ethnic population,Chinese folk paper-cut bears distinct national and geographical features. In art style,northern China is more straightforward, unconstraint, and broad minded；while in the south,it is more exquisite and delicate,full of delight and witty. From the creators,the rural female folk artists use only a pair of scissors and paper to convey their conceptual figures and color effect which surpass time and space；while male-dominant career artists make paper carvings with superb delicacy and graciousness in a more realistic style and art language. From the functionality in social life, paper-cut for embroidery patterns are given more emphasis on the outline for decorativeness ；while cave window decoration gives more delicacy to the inner pattern to let in light. In general art style,each art work brings out an unique,personal touch of the author.
由於地域遼闊，多民族的人口，中國民間剪紙有鮮明的民族和地域特色。在藝術風格上，中國北方更簡單，無約束，以及心胸寬闊;而在南方，它更精緻細膩，充滿喜感和詼諧感。從創作者來說，農村女性的民間藝人只用一把剪刀和紙來傳達她們的概念圖和彩色效果而超越時間和空間;而男性佔職業藝術家的主導地位，使剪紙在現實和藝術語言中更精湛和諧。從社會生活的功能，剪紙刺繡圖案被賦予了更多的強調輪廓的裝飾性;而洞內窗口裝飾提供了更多精緻的內部圖案，讓光線射入。一般的藝術風格，每一種藝術作品都有其獨特性，不同的人風格不同。
