Papercutting is one of Chinese traditional folk arts. Papercuts are all hand-made. Paper and scissors are the usual materials utilized, but sometimes an engraving knife is used.
Papercutting is usually used to depict various flowers, Chinese zodiac symbols and other animals, such as the phoenix, dragons, horses, monkeys, snakes, etc; and used to decorate windows, gates, columns, lanterns, mirrors, walls, lamps and lanterns, etc. Traditionally, black or red paper is used (red means happiness), though colorful papercuts are slowly gaining acceptance.
Papercuts are likely to be seen during Chinese holidays and festivals or when people get married, especially Chinese Spring Festival.
In modern society, papercuts can be framed for attractive wall decorations. They are one of the best presents for your friends and relatives and great collections for people who like folk arts.
