The Historical Origin of Chinese Paper-cutting

The historical origin of Chinese paper-cutting can be traced back to the Han Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, when people were already quite proficient in it. However, the real prosperity was after the middle of Qing Dynasty. Ancient paper-cutting was mostly in rural areas, with scissors as the main hinge, which was naturally interesting and came from the hands of peasant women. After paper-cutting entered the city, citizens' interest and life theory intervened in the art of paper-cutting, changing to knife carving and exquisite style.

With the passage of time, the art of paper-cutting gradually moved from rural areas to cities, and was influenced by urban culture. In this process, the art of paper-cutting gradually formed its own unique style and skills. At the same time, paper-cutting has become an important part of China folk culture, widely used in festivals, celebrations, weddings and funerals.
