Every year before the Spring Festival, many families in China put red paper-cuts on their windows. These beautiful designs are called window decorations. They are pretty to look at and carry good wishes for the new year.
Paper-cutting is one of China's oldest folk arts. 26 At first, people used thin gold or silver foil(箔纸) to make patterns. Later, after paper became popular, they began using red paper. 27
28 In the north, designs are simple, like fish, animals, or children. In the south, in places like Shanghai, paper-cuts are quite pretty, often showing flowers, birds, or pictures from old stories.
Today, fewer young people know how to make traditional paper-cuts. 29 Students learn to cut out "fu" characters. Some even design paper-cuts with cartoon characters.
Though(尽管) times change, the heart of paper-cutting stays the same. 30
A. But in Shanghai, some schools and community centres are teaching this art again.
