Two weeks ago, I have written an article to introduce our Chinese folk art: Embroidery, The Beautiful Handicrafts In Chinese Culture. Today I'm going to show you the other traditional art in Chinese history: paper cutting.

As another traditional folk art which has a long history in China, paper cutting is loved very much by domestic. This artistic form can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, expressing our hopes and wishes to nature, culture, and life. Ever since comes a festival, people have the custom to stick paper-cuts on windows.



If a happy event comes, people also use paper cuttings for decoration. Most of the designs are auspicious, such as mandarin ducks, magpies, dragon, phoenix, and peony, all representing good luck, good fortune and happiness.




Paper-cut has a broad mass basis in China and it blends into the social life of all ethnic groups, which is a significant component of a variety of folk activities.

Designers are good at combining this Chinese traditional art with modern fashion. They absorb the beauty and soul of embroidery, blending the eastern and western style into the modern fashion of oriental flavor. Thus, more and more excellent vintage embroidered clothing, embroidered jeans appear in different fashion shows.

And for the past few years, paper cuttings also attract more and more attention. This Chinese traditional esthetics is becoming the beautiful "scenery line" in the modern fashion stage.


As a Chinese girl, I love Chinese traditions and cultures and I sincerely hope that such fine traditional culture can be carried forward by our generation.
