To promote traditional Chinese culture and enrich community life during the festive season, Kongzhen Community in Nanjing's Liyang District recently organized a paper-cutting activity titled "Creating New Year Cheer with Scissors, Neighbors Reunite in Celebration." Volunteers invited residents to gather, learn paper-cutting techniques, and share stories of reunion in anticipation of the Lunar New Year. During the hands-on session, participants enthusiastically tried their hand at cutting patterns ranging from simple characters like "fortune" and "joy" to symbolic motifs such as goldfish for "abundance every year" and persimmons for "all wishes fulfilled." As paper scraps flew, intricate works full of festive blessings took shape, becoming unique holiday decorations. Elderly residents proudly displayed their "blossoming prosperity" designs, noting that paper-cutting, much like life, requires patience and careful planning. The event not only allowed residents to experience the charm of intangible cultural heritage and traditional customs but also strengthened neighborhood ties. The vibrant red cuttings embodied both the spirit of the New Year and the warmth of community unity. Moving forward, Kongzhen Community plans to continue leveraging cultural platforms to explore traditional festivals and host diverse activities that spread festive joy and modern civility to every household.
