Chapter 144: Learning Paper-cutting
Lin Chuyue, who returned to this Kunning Palace, was originally preparing to rest. But this New Year's Day, we still need to keep the New Year. After all, this year has today, and the years have the meaning of today, but it cannot be destroyed.
This Yingxiu and the queen began to prepare paper-cutting materials early in this Kunning Palace, just waiting for Lin Chuyue's arrival, and then they prepared paper-cutting together.
The paper-cutting technique is also to please a good fortune, after all, this paper-cutting has long been a skill handed down by the ancestors. And this queen lady pays special attention to the things and traditions of the ancestors, so she naturally works harder to learn this paper-cutting skill.
This is why the queen's paper-cutting skills are so brilliant and vivid. But all the objects she cut out are lifelike.
The most important of these is naturally the small statue she cut, but as long as it is a small statue cut by the queen, it will be praised by this person again and again.
The queen mother even regarded the paper-cutting prepared on New Year's Day as an activity that must be carried out every year in this Kunning Palace, and if someone has any outstanding performance in this paper-cutting, then the queen mother will naturally reward that person.
After all, this New Year's Day is a festival that the ancestors attach importance to, and the things that are rewarded are naturally more precious than the things before this, so as not to show that they don't pay much attention to the festival of the ancestors.
Moreover, this paper-cutting is also for the purpose of warding off evil spirits. In this palace, there are paper-cuts cut by the main owner of each main palace and pasted on the front and back windows of this palace, and then the black dragon and phoenix flower in the center of this ceiling is used to paste on the outside of this window. In this way, it can have a good effect of warding off evil spirits and driving away evil spirits.
Therefore, the lords in this palace must learn the skill of paper-cutting, so as to carry out this custom of driving away evil spirits to the end.
Before, no one believed that there was really an evil in this world, but after experiencing the incident of this lotus dock, it was the people up and down the entire palace who were very afraid of this evil problem, and because of this, they became more cautious about this evil.
But if such a move can drive away this evil, the people in every palace are going all out to carry out this matter, and this enthusiasm can be said to be more than a hundred times higher than before.
Lin Chuyue had just entered this Kunning Palace, and this Yingxiu came out to greet her. After all, all the materials for this paper-cutting have been prepared, and if you don't let this Lin Chuyue cut paper-cutting together, it will be in vain.
"You're finally back, I've been waiting for you here for a long time. I've already prepared this paper-cutting material, and we'll cut it together later. This is an important activity that our Kunning Palace must do every year. ”
When Yingxiu saw Lin Chuyue, she rushed in her direction, pulled her over with one hand, and didn't let Lin Chuyue be mentally prepared. In this way, Lin Chuyue was brought to the main hall of this Kunning Palace, and came to the front of the queen.
And when the queen mother saw Lin Chuyue's arrival, she also felt very happy, and she could be said to be smiling. After all, this Lin Chuyue is now coming back with a relaxed face, and she must have successfully completed the things she told her, so that her heart was quietly relaxed.
"Chuyue, you must have completed the task I gave you. Come on, now I'm waiting for you to cut paper together, this is a must-do activity in our Kunning Palace every year, and you naturally want to participate in it together. ”
The queen mother saw that Lin Chuyue had some doubts on her face, so she answered her questions like this, thinking that she could tell her a little about the origin of this paper-cut.
"The slave obeys. Lin Chuyue saw that the queen mother was so enthusiastic, so she quickly walked over and sat down beside the queen mother.
Then he picked up the red paper that was placed in front of him, and the gold-plated scissors that were placed in the red paper, and began to cut his first paper cut.
I saw that Lin Chuyue was holding the red colored paper in her left hand, and she picked up the gold-plated scissors in her right hand, and began to cut them up and down left and right on the red colored paper.
She watched as the red-colored paper in her hand turned into shaped cut flowers under her own operation. Although it has a shape, it is only a little rudimentary. Since this is my first time cutting paper, it is not very perfect, and it is even a little strange.
Even these strange-shaped paper-cuts are still a little crooked, so people can't see what this paper-cut is at a glance. I still have to go and ask Lin Chuyue about this paper-cut to know what this paper-cut is.
"Chuyue, what are you cutting? I am so blind that I can't see what you are cutting. Yingxiu looked at the paper-cut in Lin Chuyue's hand, and asked Lin Chuyue with some curiosity.
"This is the Zen spirit boy who sent blessings, but I didn't cut it perfectly, so I barely looked at it. Lin Chuyue was also a little embarrassed, scratched her hair, and put down her own papercut.
"No, it's actually pretty good. After all, this is also your first paper-cutting, and it is already very good to be able to practice this look. The queen mother watched Lin Chuyue put down her own paper-cut, and said softly to Lin Chuyue like this.
I saw that the queen mother took the paper-cut that was originally put into this pile by Lin Chuyue, and used scissors to modify the paper-cut slightly, and then changed Lin Chuyue's paper-cut to be more perfect.
Immediately, this paper-cut, which was originally unclear, suddenly became this lifelike appearance. The appearance of this Zen spirit boy suddenly jumped on the paper, and it became more vivid on the hollow paper-cut.
Lin Chuyue looked at the good paper-cutting skills of this queen mother, and a yearning mood rose in her heart. She also wanted to learn the art of paper-cutting from the queen, so that she would be able to cut out the things she wanted to cut out perfectly.
"Niangniang, your paper-cutting skills are really outstanding. Chuyue is really admired, and I also yearn for this paper-cutting skill like a mother. Therefore, I also want to follow the mother to learn the art of paper-cutting. I don't know, would Niang Niang be willing to take my little apprentice who is a little clumsy?"
Lin Chuyue said so sincerely to the queen mother, and also looked at the queen mother who was cutting paper in front of her with a look of admiration, and then squeezed the unfinished red paper in her hand a little nervously.
