Chinese Paper Cutting
Paper cutting, a traditional Chinese art, has a history of over 1,500 years. It is often used during festivals to decorate homes and express good wishes.
To make a paper cutting, artists first fold red paper and draw a design. Then, they cut the paper with scissors carefully. The most common patterns include flowers, animals, and Chinese characters like “福”.
I think paper cutting is not just art—it shows the wisdom and creativity of Chinese people. We should protect this skill so that future generations can appreciate its beauty.
