The most beautiful paper-cut culture in ancient poetry

In China, paper-cutting has a rich history and culture. Because paper-cutting only exists to meet the needs of people's feelings and customs, its materials are not easy to preserve, and there are few works that truly represent the face of different historical periods. We might as well look for some clues from the records of ancient books and the poems of literati.

With the long-term stability of China's customs and customs and the cultural closure of many remote areas, some patterns of paper-cutting still maintain their original basic forms and spread credibly among the people.

It is reasonable to say that folk art is a living fossil of Chinese culture. We can still appreciate the charm of national art from today's folk paper-cutting.

As a foil to folk customs, folk paper-cutting only grows tenaciously among Han people, and continues to today's era, showing strong vitality. It is also those rural skilled workers who live at the bottom of society whose ancestors carried forward this intangible cultural heritage.
