What good-looking paper-cuts are suitable for Chinese New Year?

Window grilles are the most widely distributed, the largest number and the most popular among Han folk paper-cuts. Other paper-cut varieties are developed and extended on the basis of window grilles. Both rural areas in the north and south want stick grilles during the Spring Festival. Window grilles can achieve the purpose of decorating the environment and rendering the atmosphere, and they are entrusted with the desire to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Window grilles are the most representative of paper-cutting art in terms of theme, expression and paper-cutting skills. Modern window grilles have gradually formed an independent art category, but they are called "window grilles" because they originally originated from clip art in folk festivals or folk activities, and were mostly pasted on the white paper of rural windows. For everyone, window grilles are a beautiful title, which can cause a lot of lingering and emotion. On the first day of the first lunar month, usually called the Spring Festival, decorating the living room environment in stick grilles is an important part of the Spring Festival celebrations in China.
