Among the paper-cutting techniques, there is a technique called "Yang Jian", so what kind of technique is "Yang Jian"?

There are two basic paper-cutting techniques, one is male scissors and the other is female scissors. Yang Jian cut out a shape on a piece of paper with reservations. One is the method of paper-cutting, which keeps the modeling lines in the picture and removes other parts, and the other is the three-dimensional modeling. Pay attention to the connection of lines Emperor Wen of Sui's works are dominated by lines, which are smooth and delicate, similar to China's meticulous line drawing. This method is often used in southern paper cutting.

Yin Jian cut out a shape on a piece of paper, and removed the modeling lines in the drawing during the production process, leaving a large surface instead of a virtual shape. It is concerned about whether the line is broken. This method is based on surface, enriching the picture through points and lines, and the works are heavy and solid. This method is often used in northern paper cutting.

Under normal circumstances, there are both male and female scissors in a work, which are printed and lined with each other. Through the change of point, line and surface, the picture is thick and solid with female engraving, and smooth and fresh with male engraving. There are three basic skills of Yang Jian, which are described as follows:

First, the essentials of pushing and shearing action: first, match the hand holding the paper with the left and right hands holding the scissors, half open the scissors mouth and cut it off. When the scissors are not completely closed, don't stop, open the scissors and cut down. Continue this process to make the scissors mouth produce length. Using push shear to cut long lines requires smooth cutting, no burr and no pause, which is suitable for cutting long lines.

Second, the essentials of swimming scissors: First of all, paper and scissors should be properly matched, and scissors should be opened. When cutting, the scissors should swing radian as needed to produce curvilinear motion, which also requires smooth cutting, no burrs and no sense of pause. This cutting method is suitable for cutting curves.

Third, cut off the scissors; Breaking shear refers to the process from the starting point to the end point, with only one knife, which is part of this shape. Cutting shear is the main method to cut serrated wheel. Because the pattern cut out is somewhat similar to the steel sawtooth shape used in woodworking, it is called sawtooth pattern.

Sawtooth patterns are called "decorative patterns" in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Shandong. They have different lengths, widths and straightness according to needs, and express different objects, but they all have a * * * word, and the serrated tip indicates the direction of movement.
