2. It is commonly believed that the earliest Chinese paper﹣cuts appeared during the sixth
century. Some scholars believe it was even earlier. Legend has it that during the Western
Han Dynasty (206BC ﹣ AD24), Emperor Wudi was very sad after one of his favorite
concubines ( 妃子), Madame Li, died. A Taoist priest, Li Shaoweng, cut a piece of hemp paper in the shape of Madame Li. When evening fell, the emperor's servants lit candles in
his bedroom; the reflection of that paper﹣cut on the wall made the emperor think about his
beloved concubine.
The Yuxian paper﹣cut is different from most paper﹣cuts produced in other regions of
China. Paper﹣cuts from other regions are mostly cut with scissors or knives from single﹣colored paper, such as red or black paper. There are four major procedures to make the
Yuxian paper﹣cut: First, sketch the pattern on the draft paper; second, fasten the draft to
the paper to be cut; third, use a knife to carve out the pattern; and fourth, dye ( 染色)
the paper﹣cut with various colors.
Precise cutting skills are needed to make a piece of the Yuxian paper﹣cut, which
highlights the craft maker's artistic taste and dyeing skills. That explains the following
saying: "The successful making of a Yuxian paper﹣cut is 30 percent dependent on the
maker's cutting skills, and 70 percent on the maker's dyeing skills."
The traditional Yuxian paper﹣cut highlights two themes: flowers and characters in
Chinese operas. The paper﹣cut is particularly known for its vivid description of characters
in various traditional Chinese operas. In October 2009, the art of Yuxian's paper﹣cut was
added to the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage established by UNESCO (United Nations
Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization).
