Background Knowledge:
Paper cutting is a traditional art that
has evolved through-out the course of Chinese cultural development. Its origin should be closely connected with the invention of paper during the Han dynasty (206 B.C.-221 A.D.).
As paper was highly precious in the
early days, art of paper cutting first became popular in the royal palaces and houses of nobility as a favorite pastime among court ladies. Later, during the 7th through 13th centuries, paper cutting was immensely popular during folk festivals and celebrations.
Paper-cutting is pictures cut out on a paper with scissors. The picture
patterns are often pasted on the lintels, windows or lanterns to express the feelings of joys and the perceptions in life. Hence the scissors cut is also known as “scissors-picture” or “paper-cut for window decoration.” The paper art is Chinese national treasures.
