Look at the works of art in the picture. Shao Lujie, a 29-year-old craftsman (手艺人) from Zhejiang, created them for the 19th Asian Games, 2023.
Shao’s craft is known as quilling (盘纸), which has a long history. It is a form of art that uses long thin strips (条) of paper that are rolled, shaped and glued together to create artwork.
Since Shao was a child, he has loved painting and handicrafts. Having learned quilling in 2016 from a master of the art, Shao has been devoting himself completely to the craft. Shao started his own business after a two-year apprenticeship (学徒期) when he was 23. He began by imitating the works of his teachers, but before long, he learned how to create his own works with new methods. “During this process, I found that this paper art handicraft can show the features of both painting and different design elements (元素). I hope to find new developments in this handicraft,” Shao said. Shao’s works mainly feature flowers and other plants. In recent years, Shao has worked hard to develop cultural and creative products with local characteristics, hoping to make more progress in quilling.
“Quilling is not well-known nationwide, and it can only be seen in a few places in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces,” Shao said. To get more young people interested in quilling, Shao has gone online. “Usually I like to write articles about this art and post pictures of my latest works on social media,” he said. He hopes to open an exhibition (展览) hall in the future so that more people can learn about the craft and pass it down to future generations.
