“为什么选择剪纸这条路呢？”当听了笔者最后一个问题，方侃源的回答很有意思：“其实，除了剪纸之外，我还喜欢传统戏曲，喜欢所有中国传统的文化，剪纸里的那些飞禽、鸟兽，除了表达作者心境之外，更与中国古老的刺绣、戏曲相通。我相信这些传统文化能被传承下去，并会被年轻人赋予新的生命。”

Traditional Art in Youthful Hands
By Qi Yongye，our special reporter
In May 2006，paper-cutting was inscribed on China’s first list of national intangible cultural heritage，iued by the State Council.When the news reached Jiande，a small city in the distant southwestern suburb of Hangzhou，many old paper-cutting artists in Jiande became excited.Ye Xiangnan，then 72 years old，recalled，“At last！ Here is the day my favorite art is acknowledged by the state！” He was not alone when he said this.Ye is a member of Zhejiang Artists Aociation and member of the Zhejiang Paper-cutting Art Study Society.
Paper-cutting in Jiande goes back to ancient times.The art has been carried on by graroots enthusiasts.Ye retired in 2000 and started teaching a paper-cutting course at the city’s school for senior citizens.The course attracted many local people.
In early July 2018，Hangzhou held a paper-cutting art exhibition featuring the theme of anti-corruption and honest government.Fang Kanyuan，a native of Jiande，presented his paper-cutting artwork at the exhibition.The artwork was perfect，but more eye-catching was the young paper-cut artist.Born in 1998，he is just 20 years old.
His grandmother took care of him in his childhood as his parents worked away from home.The grandmother is a paper-cutter artist.The kid marveled at a paper-cutting artwork image emerging through his grandmother’s amazing fingers and sciors.Hooked by the magic art，he asked his grandmother to teach him.His parents objected，citing paper-cutting was only for girls.But the grandmother loved the boy and taught him anyway.
When he was old enough for school，he learned art systematically.He won a few top prizes at primary school.He began to take leons from Ye Xiangnan，one of the best paper-cutting artists in Jiande.In the summer of 2014，he came to Hangzhou and took a paper-cutting course at a children’s center.During the summer vacation of 2017 before his college years started，he worked in Hangzhou for a while as an aistant to a fashion designer in a creative busine.He studies environmental art and design at college.He thinks his capabilities in paper-cutting help him a great deal in his college studies.“After all，these subjects are similar to spatial design and graphic design in paper-cutting，“ commented Fang.“I owe this opportunity to paper-cutting.”
Fang has long been a celebrity in schools and in his village.He dedicates his spare time to the art and to online research for raw material and inspiration.When he finds something interesting，he makes a drawing and then makes a paper-cutting.He subscribes to profeional journals to advance his skills and perception.Paper-cutting plays a big part in his life.
