Traditional Handicraft 传统手工艺
China has the history of more than 5,000 years. Many foreign people are attracted by this big old country. They come here and want to know about the traditional culture. However, Chinese young people don't show much interest in the old culture, instead they chase the fashion and some even abandon the precious culture. For example, paper cutting, one of the excellent arts that is inherited by our ancestors. Many foreign media speak highly of this great handicraft and they are astonished by the wisdom of Chinese people. I have seen this art when I stay in my hometown. Only few old people can do it. They just take it for killing time. Paper cutting is like the old fashion and is forgotten by the young generation. The media should report more positive information about the traditional culture to inspire the young people to learn. |
