Paper was invented in the Western Han Dynasty BC, before which there could be no paper-cutting art.. But at that time, people used very thin materials to make handicrafts by hollowing out and carving, but it was popular long before paper appeared, that is, patterns were cut on gold foil, leather, silk and even leaves by carving, carving, picking, carving and cutting.

According to Records of the Historian Jiantong Di Feng, in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the leaves of the pole were cut into "poles" and given to his younger brother, who was named Tang Hou. During the Warring States period, there were leather carvings (one of the cultural relics unearthed from No.1 Chu Tomb in Wangshan, Jiangling, Hubei).

Carving with silver foil (one of the cultural relics unearthed from the Warring States period site in Guwei Village, Huixian County, Henan Province) is exactly the same as paper-cutting, and their appearance has laid a certain foundation for the formation of folk paper-cutting.
