Have you heard about paper-cutting? Paper-cutting is an important art form in China. Paper-cuts were used for many purposes, and everything can become the theme of paper-cuts, from people to the things that can be found in everyday life such as birds, flowers and animals. Each paper-cut brings out the personal ideas of the author. People express traditional culture or their own feelings with different styles of paper-cuts. For example, when someone marries, we put up some red paper-cuts on the wall, dressing table or other furniture to express our best wishes.
It is easy to learn paper-cutting but very difficult to make it perfect. We need a long-time practice to learn how to use the scissors and how to paint. Moreover, we need to learn some cutting skills.
At present, in many parts of China, paper-cutting skills have become a must for women and a symbol of a clever mind.
