China's New Year's Day is said to have started in Zhuan Xu, one of the three emperors and five emperors, with a history of more than 3,000 years. The word "New Year's Day" first appeared in the Book of Jin: "It is actually the spring of New Year's Day when the emperor was transferred to the first month." In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Xiao Ziyun's poem "Elegance in the Southern Dynasties" also recorded "New Year's Day in four seasons, long life in early spring".

China first called the first day of the first lunar month "New Year's Day". Meta means "early" and "beginning" and refers to "day". Together, New Year's Day is the first day of the year. The date of the first day of the first month was also very different before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the New Year's Day of the past dynasties is not consistent. Meng Xiyue (1 month) is the first month of the Xia calendar, the twelfth month of the Shang lunar calendar (1February) and the winter month of the week calendar (1 1 month). After Qin Shihuang unified China, Yangchun month (October) was the first month, that is, the first day of October was New Year's Day. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it has been stipulated that Meng Xiyue (January) is the first month, and Meng Xiyue (the first day of the first month in the summer calendar) is called New Year's Day, which has been used until the end of the Qing Dynasty. But this is the summer calendar, that is, the lunar calendar or lunar calendar, and it is not what we call New Year's Day today.

In A.D. 19 1 1, the Revolution of 1911 led by Sun Yat-sen overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty and established the Republic of China. In order to "follow the agricultural season, so follow the western calendar, so do statistics", the first year of the Republic of China decided to use the Gregorian calendar (actually used as 19 12), and stipulated that Gregorian calendar 1 was called "New Year's Day", but not "New Year's Day".

Today's "New Year's Day" is the first plenary session of China People's Political Consultative Conference on September 27th. 1949. When it was decided to establish the People's Republic of China (PRC) (PRC), it was also decided to adopt the universal calendar, and the Gregorian calendar 1 was officially designated as "New Year's Day" and the first day of the first lunar month was changed to "Spring Festival".

There is no fixed format and layout, and the content is mainly Chinese knowledge. Handwritten newspaper is one of the forms for middle school students to carry out extracurricular activities. Students directly participate in the whole process of editing, writing and production, which is deeply loved by students. Whenever there are major festivals, we will express them in various forms, or wish or celebrate or sing, such as welcoming New Year's Day, May 4th, July 1st and National Day. Recently, the "First National Handwritten Newspaper Competition for Primary and Secondary School Students in 2003" was held jointly by the Education Information Research Center of Central Education Institute and China Education Information Research Association. Many students actively participated in it and achieved certain results.

Here, I want to talk to you about how to design and make handwritten newspapers, which can be described from these three aspects:

First, the steps of beautification and design;

The second is the performance of header, illustration and tail flower;

Third, edit and copy the production process.

First, beautification and design

The beautification design of handwritten newspaper mainly includes: layout design and header, title flower, illustration, tail flower and lace design.

1, layout design

Layout design is an important link in making a good handwritten newspaper.

To design a good layout, we must pay attention to the following points:

(1) Make clear what is the main content of this issue's handwritten newspaper, and choose a meaningful header (i.e. registration). Generally, the header should be designed in the most eye-catching position;

(2) Read through the edited or written article and calculate its word count, and edit it according to the content and length of the article (that is, typesetting). Generally, important articles are placed in a prominent position (that is, on the front page);

(3) pay attention to the combination of long and short articles interspersed with horizontal and vertical rows to make the layout clean and lively;

(4) attention should also be paid to typesetting: the arrangement of words should be mainly horizontal and supplemented by vertical, the line spacing should be greater than the word spacing, there should be gaps between articles, there should be gaps between articles and edges, and there should be about 3CM blank edges around the paper. In addition, newspapers should always be kept clean and tidy.

2. Header

Headlines play a direct role, which must closely match the theme and vividly reflect the main ideas of handwritten newspapers. Registration should have a positive, healthy and meaningful name.

Headers are generally determined by theme graphics, header text and geometric color blocks or laces, or serious or lively, or square or round, or elegant or colorful.

Header design should pay attention to:

(1) The composition should be stable, the picture structure should be compact, the header design and expression should be concise, and the theme of handwritten newspaper should be reflected at a glance;

(2) its characters should be large, with lines or letters, or color or black and white;

(3) There are several design schemes for its position: first, if the typesetting design is two pages, it should be placed at the upper right; Second, if the typesetting design is full-page, it can be in the middle, on the left or on the right. Generally, it is designed at the upper part of the page, not at the lower end.

3. Title

The title (that is, the title flower) is usually in front of the article or combined with the title picture of the article. When designing the title, pay attention to the title text, which is slightly larger. Decorative graphics should be based on the content and layout of the article. The title of the article should be smaller than the title body, but larger than the body. In short, we should pay attention to clear priorities.

4. Illustrations and codices

Illustration is designed according to the needs of content and layout decoration. Good illustrations can beautify the layout and help readers understand the content of the article. Don't occupy too big a position in illustrations and credits, it is easy to appear empty and messy. Tail flowers are mostly designed for the needs of page beautification, mostly flowers or geometric patterns. Illustrations and transcripts are not necessary for all articles. The more the better, the more the better.

5.shoelaces

Lace is indispensable in handwritten newspapers. Some headers and headers can be designed with lace; Important articles are framed with lace; Articles can also be separated by lace; Some whole pages can also be separated up and down or left and right with lace. In the use of lace, straight lines or wavy lines are often used.

Second, the head painting, illustration, the end of the flower expression.

The expressions of head painting, illustration and tail painting can be roughly divided into line drawing and color block painting.

1, draw a line

It requires concise and general images, accurate lines and clear focus. Pay attention to some steps when painting:

(1) generally sketch the main line-determine the angle, direction and size;

(2) Draw the scale, structure and perspective related to the diagram;

(3) Describe the details, and draw the rhythm changes of lines in combination with body structure, composition and color;

(4) Finally, arrange them to make the picture complete and unified.

2. Color block painting

In addition to accurate modeling, we should also be good at dealing with the collocation and change relationship of color blocks, which should be handled from the needs of the object to make the layout colorful. When drawing, you can draw a pencil draft first (modeling is as accurate as possible), and then evenly apply large color blocks; Details after characterization; Finally, it is trimmed to make it more unified and perfect.

Line drawing and color block drawing are usually used at the same time, which can be multicolored or monochrome. Whether it's line drawing or color block drawing, it's best not to draw only with a pencil. Graphics or text on a page cannot be cut and pasted.

Third, the compilation and drawing steps of handwritten newspaper

Editing and drawing is an important step from conception to concrete completion.

There are two steps: one is the preparation stage, and the other is the preparation stage.

1, preparation stage.

Mainly the preparation of various materials and tools. Specifically, it includes: drafting the registration of the current handwritten newspaper; Prepare a blank sheet of paper (the size depends on the need, such as half-open, four-open, eight-open, etc.). The handwritten newspaper competition organized by the Political and Educational Affairs Office is required to be the size of Jiangxi Daily, that is, half open); Edit and write relevant written materials (prepare more articles); Writing and drawing tools, etc.

2. Preparation stage.

This stage is the main process of making handwritten newspapers. Roughly: layout design, copying process, beautification process.

(1) Layout design: typesetting according to the length of the article, and drawing a grid or grid line (generally sketched with a pencil, and handwritten newspaper can be erased or not).

(2) Copying process: refers to the writing of articles. Handwritten newspaper paper is mostly white, and carbon ink should be used for writing; Font should be running script and regular script, less cursive script and seal script; The size of the words should be moderate (in line with the usual reading habits). Don't be afraid if the handwriting is not very good. The key is to write neatly. In addition, typos are not allowed in articles or titles.

(3) Beautifying process: After copying the article, you can draw illustrations, tail flowers and lace (it is not advisable to copy illustrations first) to beautify the whole layout. This process is the key to the layout effect of handwritten newspaper.

The handwritten newspaper can be in black and white or in color. It can be comprehensive or thematic. The design requirements and steps of handwritten newspaper and blackboard newspaper are basically the same.

Students, exercise yourself and draw a handwritten newspaper that belongs to you and everyone.

The Spring Festival is the first day of the first lunar month. Generally speaking, the traditional Spring Festival begins in La Worship on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month or at the altar on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, with New Year's Eve and New Year's Day as the climax, and the whole Year doesn't end until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It marks the end of the cold winter and the beginning of the new year, and symbolizes new hope. Chinese people all over the world have to hold various colorful celebrations, which is the most important traditional festival of the Chinese nation in a year.

Historically, there are many interesting legends about the Spring Festival among Chinese people. There are many names for the Spring Festival, such as January Day, New Year's Day, Unlicensed, Chen Yuan and Nian Egg, but ordinary people are more accustomed to calling it "Nian".

The development history of Spring Festival travel rush.

In the early days of observing images and time, "Yin Hui with a barrel handle" is the beginning of a year. Spring has returned to the earth, and "Yin Hui with barrel handle" has started again, and everything has taken on a new look, thus opening a new cycle. In the traditional farming society, beginning of spring, the first year of the year, is of great significance, and a large number of festivals and customs related to it have been derived.

In the historical development, although the calendar is different and the date of the first festival is different, its festival framework and many folk customs have been passed down. In modern times, people set the Spring Festival on the first day of the first lunar month, but generally it doesn't end until at least the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The Spring Festival is a folk festival that combines offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors, praying for evil spirits, family reunion, celebration, entertainment and food.

How to write the first line of the bold and colorful handwritten newspaper in the middle of the title-making a big fuss about the New Year? Self-made meaningful or meaningful immersive paintings or pictures.

1. The original name of the Spring Festival is "Chinese New Year". Du Taiqing of Sui Dynasty said in Five Candles Collection: "The first month is the end of the month, and one day is the day of Yuan, which is also a cloud." The original meaning of "yuan" is "head" and later extended to "start" Because this day is the first day of the year, the first day of spring and the first day of the first month, it is called "Sanyuan". Because this day is still the old dynasty, the moon dynasty and the Japanese dynasty, it is also called the "three dynasties"; Because it is the first Shuori, it is also called "Yuanshuo". Song and Wu explained in Dream: "The first day of the first month is called New Year's Day". In Shuo Wen Jie Zi, the word "Dan" is interpreted as "from the sun, from the ground." It means that the sun has just risen from the horizon, which means morning. Because it means the first morning of a year and the first morning of the first month respectively, it is called "New Year's Day" and "Zheng Dan". In addition to the above titles, the Spring Festival is also called "Opening Year", "Opening Year", "Fragrant Year" and "Chinese New Year", among which "New Year's Day" is the most common and the longest.

Spring Festival generally refers to New Year's Eve and the first day of the first month. However, among the people, the traditional Spring Festival refers to the sacrificial ceremony from the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month or the 23rd to the 15th day of the first lunar month in La Worship, culminating in New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month.
