Paper cutting is one of China’s most popular traditional folk arts. Chinese paper cutting has a history of more than 1500 years.
It was widespread particularly during the Ming and Qing dynasties. People often beautify (美化)

I feel so sorry about the losing arts. In my opinion, they are so classic and their charm will never fade away. Take my grandma for example.
She is good at paper cutting which was inherited from her mother. But when it comes to my mother’s generation, paper cutting seems to be kicked out. Fewer people need it, so my mother doesn’t learn this
skill. The paper cutting is losing in my family.
When I found my grandma had this skill, I was so surprised and curious about it. I asked my grandma to teach me this skill.
During the progress, I found this art was so great. I was attracted by it. I think some traditional arts like paper cutting should be kept.
71. When was paper cutting widespread
