In the heart of Chengde, located in the north the Chinese mainland's Hebei Province, the age-old tradition of Fengning Manchu paper-cutting thrives with over 300 years of rich history. This exquisite craft features intricate designs of flowers, birds, landscapes, and figures, showcasing the delicate artistry involved. Recently, at an intangible cultural heritage exhibition in the Chinese mainland's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Shi Junfeng, a dedicated inheritor of this craft, captivated audiences by swiftly crafting a paper gourd adorned with the Chinese character \"shou,\" symbolizing life and conveying wishes for health and longevity, embodying the essence of this timeless art form.
