2025年乙巳蛇年，我们迎来了具有历史意义的人类非遗版春节，为我们世代相传的节日更添一份特殊色彩。山西省精心制作“山西非遗春节民俗图鉴”，向我们介绍山西春节非遗。翻开运城&临汾篇，走进这两座拥有丰富历史文化遗产，是中国民间传统庆典活动社火的重要发源地的城市，感受其热闹纷呈的春节非遗年俗，体验最地道的中国年味。

In the Year of the Snake (Yi-Si) in 2025, we celebrate a historic Spring Festival inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list, adding a unique layer of significance to our time-honored festival. Shanxi Province has specially launched the "Shanxi Intangible Cultural Heritage Spring Festival Folk Custom Manual," introducing us to the province's intangible cultural heritage related to the Spring Festival. Upon opening the chapter on Yuncheng & Linfen, step into these two cities, which boast rich historical and cultural heritage and serve as important cradles of Shehuo, a significant traditional folk celebration in China,  immerse yourself in the lively and diverse intangible cultural heritage customs during the Spring Festival, and experience the most authentic flavor of the Chinese New Year.

运城春节非遗代表性项目包含中和节（永济背冰）、闻喜花馍、高跷、鼓舞等，其中，闻喜花馍是手工艺人以花馍为载体，根据对民间传说的理解，根据自己的构思创作出来，外形美观，色彩绚丽，造型丰富，惟妙惟肖，具有较高的审美价值。临汾春节非遗代表性项目包含晋南威风锣鼓、平阳木版年画、曲沃碗碗腔等，其中，平阳木板年画采用集中概括、浪漫主义的表现手法。运用注重人物传神、象征寓意的手法，力求使画面完整、造型夸张，色彩艳丽、明快，给人以豪放、健康、洒脱的感觉。

The representative intangible cultural heritage projects during the Spring Festival in Yuncheng include Zhonghe Festival (Yongji Beibing), Wenxi Huamo (Flower-like Steamed Bun), stilt walking, drum dances, and others, among which Wenxi Huamo is created by craftspeople using steamed buns as the carrier, based on their understanding of folklore and their own creativity. These buns are visually appealing, colorful, diverse in shape, and lifelike, possessing high aesthetic value. The representative intangible cultural heritage projects during the Spring Festival in Linfen include Southern Shanxi's Weifeng gong and drum, Pingyang woodblock New Year paintings, and Quwo Wanwanqiang Opera. Among them, Pingyang woodblock New Year paintings adopt a concentrated and romantic artistic expression. They emphasize capturing the essence of the characters and using symbolic imagery, striving for completeness in composition, exaggerated forms, and bright, vivid colors, imparting a bold, healthy, and carefree sensation to viewers.
