paper cutting

Paper-cutting is one of the most popular folk arts in China. According to ancient history, it can be traced back to Gong Yuan in the 6th century, but people think it started hundreds of years ago. Paper-cutting is often used in religious ceremonies, decoration and plastic arts.

In the past, people often made objects and figures of different shapes out of paper and buried or burned them with the dead at funerals. This custom can still be seen outside China. Paper-cutting art is generally symbolic and part of this tool; In addition, newspaper clippings are also used as decorations to worship ancestors and immortals.

Nowadays, paper-cutting is more used for decoration. Newspaper clippings can be used to decorate walls, doors and windows, pillars, mirrors, lights and lanterns. And it can also be used as a gift ornament, and even give newspaper clippings as gifts to others. In the past, people used paper-cutting as a model for embroidery and painting.

Paper-cutting is made by hand rather than by machine. There are two commonly used methods: knife scissors and knife scissors. As the name implies, it is to cut the paper with scissors, then paste a few pieces of paper (usually no more than 8 pieces) after cutting, and finally process the plan with Fengli scissors. Knife scissors first fold the paper into several folds and put it on a soft mixture of ashes and animal fat, and then slowly carve it with a knife. Paper cutter usually holds the knife vertically and processes the paper into the desired plane according to a certain pattern. Compared with scissors, one advantage of scissors is that they can be processed into multiple paper-cutting schemes at one time.

In rural areas, paper-cutting is usually done by women and aunts. In the past, this was a skill that every girl had to master, and it was also a standard for people to judge the bride. But professional paper cutters are often men, because only men can work in the workshop to earn money.
