Folk Arts Start from Paper-Cutting to Connect with Gods

Gu Changan, an inheritor of paper-cutting intangible cultural heritage, woke up and traveled to a feudal alien world where evil spirits were rampant. Here, his "old-fashioned" craftsmanship has become the foundation for his livelihood. Paper cutting can transform the body, suona can calm the soul, shadow puppet can restrain the spirit, Nuo dance can invite gods... By a strange combination of circumstances, he sneaked into the "Bayi Department" of the imperial court, specializing in dealing with those strange incidents. He faced the ghost mother and her baby and asked for her life, uncovering a dusty ethical tragedy. He also stepped into the soul-stirring stage and witnessed a centuries-old memorial tablet swallowing up the souls of living people. He also solved the mystery of the love poison Su embroidery, and glimpsed the intestinal poison in the beauty. Calling the soul to rejuvenate life, dancing in the corpse forest, hating the roof beams, borrowing luck from the eight characters, holding back the treasure to lead the sheep... Strange powers and chaotic gods will eventually have their deeds to follow. Only the unpredictability of people's hearts is the most difficult mystery to explore. But now that we have this bowl of rice, there is no reason to let things go bad. He took out the familiar golden scissors, cut a thin piece of red paper, and cut through the layers of illusion. When ordinary people wanted peace, he would cut off a big rooster to guard the house; when a child kept crying at night, he would cut off a pair of tiger cubs to protect him; in the hope of prosperity in the coming year, he would cut off the tail of a lively carp... Look at the window grilles you cut and stick them on the window lattice of thousands of houses to keep away evil spirits. Gu Changan smiled with satisfaction, "This is the real craft work!"
