Chinese paper - cutting, or jianzhi, is a kind of folk art. People use scissors or knives to cut paper for decoration or other folk activities.
As traditional Chinese art, paper - cutting has a long history. The first and earliest paper - cutting was found in China 1 500 years ago. But this traditional art is at risk(风险) of disappearing (消失) now.
Luckily, more and more people are trying to bring this art back to life. Voyo Woo, a Chinese living in America, is one of them. One Saturday in 2014, Ms Woo held a paper - cutting show at a shopping centre near Washington. She got much fun and peace doing it. She hoped more people would enjoy it.
Ms Woo began to study the art of paper - cutting as a 14 - year - old girl in her hometown in China. She said all the students at school had to learn paper - cutting, and she had a deep love for it. So her teacher spent more time teaching her after class. Later, she won the second prize (奖) in a national painting and art competition. Ms Woo went to America after she finished college in 2008. Soon after that, she took part in an activity to promote Chinese paper - cutting. And then she was invited to show the art in many important activities. “It is important to promote this art to Americans or anyone who is interested in it. Maybe it will make this art more popular,” Ms Woo said.
From the art of paper - cutting, people can know about Chinese cultural values, history and stories of people’s life. Ms Woo uses the art as a tool to show Chinese culture to people who know little about it. Chinese art is not only for Chinese, but also for people all over the world.
