Zhang Shouyi and Shen Guilan's Baotu Spring paper work Zhao Tianyi took
60 year old Ji'nan citizens Zhang Shouyi from an early age Since 2010, he and his wife, Shen Guilan, and his wife, Shen Guilan, took 3 years to shoot 72 spring springs in Ji'nan. With more than 30 tools, they carved these springs on paper and mounted them for years. The works were displayed at the Tianqiao cultural center, the Shandong folklore exhibition hall and other places. The next step was two people. We plan to make other spring water in the province into paper cutting works.
famous spring engraved on paper as a memory of old age
yesterday morning, the reporter came to Zhang Shouyi's house. "Get used to it, put it here and get it at any time, do it with inspiration, and make you laugh." Zhang Shouyi was a little embarrassed.
Zhang Shouyi told reporters that he began to study paper cutting and paper cutting from the age of 7. Even if he did not take part in his work, he was more and more proficient in his efforts. He was also selected as a member of the Shandong folk custom society. In December 2010, Zhang Shouyi saw the report of "the flood of spring 7th anniversary" during the reading of the newspaper, which produced the idea of carving the spring water down, and the idea was supported by the wife and daughter. "My daughter-in-law then said to do it with me as a memory in my old age."
did it. Second days early in the morning, Zhang Shouyi and his wife set foot on the journey of shooting the spring water. However, this process is more difficult than they imagined, because of the 72 springs, many are not in the city, some are still "hidden" in the deep mountains, to take these photos, two people eat a lot of pain. "The most impressive thing is to go to Pingyin to shoot the Academy spring and the other three springs, to get up at 4 in the morning and start at 5 points. After that, it has not been found for a long time. Then a local person helps to make a success, and it is already at night." Zhang Shouyi said that there were no restaurants around some springs. He went out to take pictures and brought food himself. Sometimes he was not satisfied with the shooting, and he had to run second or third times.
after 8 months of hard work, Zhang Shouyi finally got all the pictures of famous springs and began to engraving the plates.
three years of completion, each with a poem
begins, and after one minute, Zhang Shouyi always feels less, and can only throw away the REPORTRAYAL. After throwing away the number of pieces, Zhang Shouyi finally understands what is missing from his wife's reminder - spirituality. "Only the spring water is too monotonous, without spirituality." After my discussions with my wife, I could only solve this problem with poetry.
the search for poetry was "rough". At first Zhang Shouyi was ready to search for ancient poems on the Internet, but for a long time, he didn't find the right one, not enough in quantity, and the poem did not conform to the present mood. After half a month, Zhang Shouyi accidentally saw the brand of the famous spring Research Association of Ji'nan when he passed the eleven Road, and decided to seek help. "At that time, I was holding an attitude of trying. I didn't expect Mr. Xing Yuxi, the president of the Research Association, to be very interested in it. He said he would try his best to help me, so let me take it over. Without Mr. Xing's help, there would be no such works. "
a few days later, Zhang Shouyi got a Book of new 72 spring poems and some other books from President Xing Yuxi. Through these books he picked up the right verse and described it in different fonts according to the characteristics of each spring. After three years of hard work, Zhang Shouyi and his wife finished his work on time in 2013.
spending savings and mounting will also engrave the other spring water
72 springs are just for interest according to the ideas of Zhang Shouyi and his wife, but they feel dissatisfied after the work is completed, so they spend more than 20 thousand yuan to buy the frames and other materials and mount the works. Reporters learned that Zhang Shouyi and his wife are retired workers. The monthly salary of two people is only about 3000 yuan, and twenty thousand yuan is their savings for many years.
because of the size of the works after mounting, there is no place to be placed, Zhang Shouyi can only be placed in a friend's house for a time, and the news that he has carved 72 springs is also spreading. Many departments have actively contacted him with the exhibition. His works have been displayed in the Tianqiao District style center, Shandong folklore exhibition hall and other places. This Zhang Shouyi is very indifferent. "The work is to show everyone that we are proud of Ji'nan. I will not refuse, nor do I feel that I am a celebrity."
Zhang Shouyi also told reporters that carving 72 springs is not his ultimate goal. As long as he is physically and economically allowed, he will continue to shoot other springs and attractions in the province and strive to make all the paper.
