Why is the Chinese character hi cut like that in paper-cutting, which is different from the text?

Reason: Paper-cutting is an art, art has its own space to play, and it is not necessary to stick to the text itself.

This composition thinking of folk paper-cut is not limited by living customs and subject matter content, and creatively organizes a number of images to make them coherent, comparative and foil. This expression technique of flattening and taking things enhances the appreciation, subjectivity, space-time, three-dimensional sense and comprehensiveness of paper-cutting, and its ultimate goal is to pursue the integrity of modeling.

The structure and expression of folk paper-cutting is not a simulation or reproduction of a static visual image from a fixed perspective, but a dynamic dialectic in which sensibility and rationality are fully integrated. China folk art does not pursue the depth of perspective, but has an aesthetic recognition of "seeing more and seeing more". Folk paper-cutting also embodies this aesthetic concept, which embodies the whole picture of things in two-dimensional space.
