The Chaozhou straw clip art craft first appeared in the form of weaving. Rural artists used freshly harvested straw to weave small handicrafts such as baskets, hats, tables and chairs, sedan chairs, fans, and horses. Later, it gradually evolved into straw clip art. The themes of Chaozhou straw clip art mainly include people, flowers, birds and beasts, aquatic animals, and landscapes. There are two forms of expression: natural color and overprinting. Natural color refers to the golden yellow and brown-red color of the straw itself, which is cut and pasted on dark backing paper or thin boards or satin. Overprinting is to dye the straw with various colors, cut it and paste it on the thin board, thus producing a special artistic effect. Wheat straw clip art has the delicacy of Chaozhou embroidery and the charm of Chinese painting, and enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad. In 2009, it was selected into the third batch of provincial intangible cultural heritage list. Chaozhou straw clip art has a long history and has been passed down for a long time. It is a part of the precious culture and art of the motherland, and it is also a treasure of the cultural accumulation of Chaozhou people. The Chaozhou straw clip art craft first appeared in the form of weaving. In the old days, during the Qingming Festival, the country people used the newly harvested wheat straw to weave small handicrafts such as baskets, hats, tables and chairs, sedan chairs, fans, and horses, and sold them to the tomb-sweepers from the city. Straw clipart gradually changed and formed later. The products of Chaozhou straw clipart in the 1940s were natural straw flat paintings with black cloth as the base. At that time, the works were mainly sold to Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. The creations include figures, flowers, birds, beasts, aquatic animals and landscapes, and the expressions are natural colors and overprinting; in terms of use, they are divided into appreciation products and practical products. Natural colors use the golden and brown-red changes of the wheat straw itself, and are cut and pasted on dark backing paper or thin boards or satin; overprinting is to paste the wheat straw on thin boards to produce special artistic effects. Its artistic characteristics are the delicacy of Chaozhou embroidery, the charm of Chinese painting, the thickness of oil painting, and the beauty of watercolor painting. It has a high appreciation value and enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad.
