There is a special club at Beijing New Oriental Yangzhou Foreign Language School, Jiangsu. It is called the Tongcao Flowers Paper Art Workshop. It just won the top prize at a school event.
The students and teachers worked for two months to make thousands of beautiful tongcao flowers and the big show place was full of the tongcao flowers.
Making these flowers takes many steps. First,they cut the tongcao paper into different sizes. Then they shape the wet paper into petals (花瓣) and put them together like a real flower. Finally,they colour the paper.
