Chinese paper-cutting is one of the oldest handicrafts in China. It appeared during the Northern dynasties. So it has a history of about 1,500 years. At first, paper-cuttings were only popular in the countryside, and the masters were farmers’ wives.
Traditional paper-cuttings were first put on windows for decoration. This is why they’re also called “window flowers”. Most paper-cuttings are made of red paper, because red means good luck in Chinese culture. Today, people use paper-cuttings to decorate not only windows, but also mirrors, lamps and other furniture.
Paper-cuttings are popular because of their expressions of good wishes and hopes. During the Spring Festival, for example, many people put up paper-cuttings of the Chinese character “Fu” upside down. They hope that this will bring them good luck. At wedding ceremonies, you can always see paper-cuttings of the character “Xi”. It means that the couple can enjoy double happiness together. Paper-cuttings have developed into different styles in different parts of China. Paper-cuttings from the northern parts usually have interesting shapes and rich patterns. In southern China, people prefer elegant paper-cuttings. They focus more on the themes of flowers, fruit, birds and fish.
It is quite easy to learn how to make paper-cuttings. With a piece of paper and a knife or a pair of scissors, you can try to make your own paper art. You can only make one piece at a time by using a knife. But if you use scissors to cut several pieces of paper together, you can make several identical paper-cuttings at once.
