Chinese Paper-cutting

Paper-cutting is a very special visual art of Chinese handicrafts.One saying is

that it originated from the religious ceremony of offerings.The ancient people cut

papers into animals or people.They either buried them with the dead or burned them

on the funerals，wishing that things that paper stood for could be with the dead.After

hundreds of years’ development，now they have become a very popular means of

decoration among country folk，especially women.

It is easy to learn about cutting a piece of paper but very difficult to master

it with perfection.Beginners need only a knife and paper.For craftsmen，they need

knives and gravers of various types to make complicated(复杂的) patterns.For

complicated patterns，people first paste the pattern on the paper and then use various

kinds of knives to make it.No mistake can be made during the process otherwise the

work would fail.

Paper-cutting covers nearly all topics，from flowers，birds，animals，legendary

people，figures in classic novels，to types of facial make-up in Beijing

Opera.Paper-cutting has various styles in different parts of China.

In the past，women living in the countryside gathered in their free time to make

paper-cutting，which was a way to judge their skillfulness.As society develops，fewer and fewer women still regard it as a profession.At present，there are factories

and associations for paper-cutting in China.Exhibitions and exchanges are held

regularly and books of this kind are published.Paper-cutting has changed from

decoration to a kind of art.At the same time，paper-cutting also appears in cartoons，on stage，in magazines or in TV series.
