Folk paper-cut is an ancient traditional folk art in China. It has a long history and a special pattern and is loved by people at home and abroad. Chinese paper-cut art, which can be dated back to 2,000 years ago, is one of the most popular traditional arts in China.
The themes involved in Chinese folk paper-cut art are various and colorful, which vary from the subjects in daily life with which people are familiar to the future life people are dreaming of. From these subjects, we can know the simple and pure feelings of laboring people.
Paper-cuts can't be called artistic works until they meet certain requirements. A good paper-cut require great skill in knife work and paper selection.
