mentioned GuangBabaylanEast New Year customs, what will you think of first? Some customs such as walking in the flower street and washing the sloppy, which are still prosperous today; some customs such as the 23rd sacrifice to the Kitchen God of Cinema, and the second day of the Chinese New Year, which was once the indispensable part of the Lingnan Spring Festival, Komiks, but href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Komiks is gradually fading away with the development of the times. Recently, Southern Media and Nanfeng Academy held a special exhibition on Lingnan New Year Customs, including Foshan woodblock New Year paintings and Guangdong paper-cut national intangible cultural heritage projects, as well as Lingnan New Year customs publications, traditional Lingnan Halls, and paintings of famous Lingnan masters. The exhibition lasts until February 28. The highlights of the exhibition are two national intangible cultural heritage techniques that are highly Guangdong-style and integrate traditional Cinema New Year culture – Foshan woodblock New Year paintings and Guangdong-style paper-cutting.
Foshan Wooden Edition YearThe painting began in the Song and Yuan dynasties, and was prosperous in the Ming Dynasty from the Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China. It is as famous as Yangliuqing, Tianjin, Tao, Suzhou, and Weifang, Shandong. It is one of the four major woodblock New Year paintings in China. It was once an important decoration for the festival in Lingnan and a family and home. In the past, it was sold well in Lingnan and even overseas, carrying people’s yearning and wishes for a better life.
Due to the changes of the times, it gradually declined and even disappeared completely for a time. It was not until the late 1990s that Feng Bingtang, son of the famous New Year painting artist Feng Jun (nicknamed “Door God Jun”Komiks), gave up his original career and re-studying to realize his father’s last wish, so that woodblock New Year paintings could see the light of day again. The Feng New Year Painting Workshop, which he founded, is the only existing workshop in the Buddhist Komiks Mountains that still produces New Year paintings. This exhibition displays the full set of production tools, production processes, and representative works such as “Door God” and “God of Fortune”. The simple and childish woodblock New Year pictures are used to depict the deep Lingnan seal with a knife pen; each piece of exquisite and beautiful carved panels pass on the unique New Year customs and blessings from the past to the present.
Guangdong paper cutting is another national intangible cultural heritage project in this exhibition. The paper-cut exhibits in this exhibition are from intangible cultural heritage inheritors and enthusiasts from Foshan, Shantou Chaoyang, Leizhou and other places, and have inherited the ancient style in its original style.ov.com/”>Babaylan‘s old intangible cultural heritage skills showcases the colorful regional characteristics of Lingnan.
