Cutting method of Qingming hanging paper

Tomb-Sweeping Day is a traditional ancestor worship festival in China. On this day, people will go to the ancestral graves to sweep graves, offer flowers and burn paper money. Hanging paper is one of the important ceremonies. The cutting method of hanging paper is also very important. Here is a brief introduction to the cutting method of Qingming hanging paper.

First, prepare colored paper and scissors. Fold the colored paper into four parts and fold it twice, so that the colored paper becomes a small square.

Next, cut a triangle on the diagonal of the small square. Then, cut out two trapeziums above and below the triangle respectively. In this way, a pattern similar to "mouth" is formed.

Next, cut two curves inward on both sides of the mouth to make the whole pattern look like a flower.

Finally, the whole pattern is unfolded and straightened, and you can see a beautiful flower shape. The hanging paper made in this way is not only beautiful and generous, but also auspicious.

In a word, when hanging paper in Tomb-Sweeping Day, we should pay attention to cutting and make beautiful and exquisite hanging paper to express our thoughts and memories of our ancestors.
