Abstract

Fujian paper-cut is reflected in all aspects of Fujian people’s life. As a miniature of Fujian culture, Fujian paper-cut shows the stigma of migration of northern people to the south of China and cultural integration. This paper interprets the splendid art of Fujian paper-cut from the perspective of symbol reference, and analyzes three types of art symbols of Fujian paper-cut: pictorial symbol, indicative symbol and symbolic symbol. As a kind of image symbol, Fujian paper-cut art has the characteristics of bionics and deformation. The theme is mostly drawn from the natural and artificial objects that can be seen in our daily life; the theme of Fujian paper-cut art also has the distinctive characteristics of marine culture, which reflects the profound brand of Fujian’s paper-cut in the special geographical environment along the southeast coast of China. After the simplification of paper-cut artists, it presents a unique form of beauty. In the form of Fujian paper cutting, there are some characteristics of imitation, decoration and exaggeration. As a kind of indicative symbol, Fujian paper-cut art is instructive and educational, which embodies Fujian people’s customs and habits, worship concepts, moral concepts and values. As a symbol, Fujian paper-cut art is often used to sacrifice ancestors. The main theme is sacrificial gifts. It is mainly used for sacrificial ceremonies and festival gifts. It has a certain divine consciousness and is a symbol of divine consciousness; it is also a symbol of aesthetics and auspiciousness.
