In the traditional Chinese paper-cut animation style, an old man with white hair sits alone on a bluestone fishing platform, leisurely angling. He dons a dark grey felt hat and a long gown made of moon-white coarse cloth. The gown features indigo piping at the hems and cuffs, and a wine gourd gently sways at his waist. His wrinkled face bears a serene smile. His long, silvery-white beard flutters in the gentle river breeze. His hands, with prominent knuckles, firmly grasp a bamboo fishing rod, and the fishing line dips into the turquoise water.
Surrounding him are moss-covered rocks and a riverbank lined with reeds. Behind him, a small boat with a black canopy is moored, and fishing nets are spread out to dry along the boat's side. In the distance, the mountains are as dark as ink, and the clouds in the sky seem to have been cut into smooth arcs by scissors. Ripples dance on the water's surface, and fish can be faintly seen swimming beneath.
The lines in the picture are neat and concise, and are tinted with traditional colors like cinnabar red, Gamboge yellow, and azurite green. The scene exudes a leisurely and reclusive atmosphere, with rich details, presenting an 8K ultra-high-definition quality.
From the perspective of paper-cut craftsmanship, elements in the picture such as the old man's attire, his hair and beard, the fishing rod by his side, the small boat, the rocks on the riverbank, and the distant mountains have all gone through a series of processes including meticulous drawing on paper, careful cutting of shapes, and patient engraving. Subsequently, these paper-cut components, each imbued with life, are skillfully combined to vividly depict the scene of the old man fishing leisurely. This fully showcases the unique artistic charm of paper-cut animation.
