We usually see paper-cuts during the Spring Festival. But in Fengning, Hebei Province, we can see them everywhere and at any time.
Paper-cuts are a part of Fengning people’s everyday life. When autumn comes, farmers make paper-cuts to pray (祈求) for a good harvest. Mothers put paper-cuts on the bed when their children are ill. They believe it helps the children get well soon. Businessmen put paper-cuts on their doors. They hope they can make more money. At weddings (婚礼) and funerals (葬礼), people also use paper-cuts to decorate.
The pictures on the paper-cuts are very beautiful. There are many patterns (图案), such as people, plants, fruit and so on. There are also animal patterns, like tortoises, birds, dogs and rabbits.
Most Fengning paper-cuts are red. Fengning is in northern China. When autumn comes, the leaves fall and grass becomes yellow. Red paper-cuts on doors and windows make Fengning look livelier (更有生机的).
