The crystallization of folk traditional culture

I went to the countryside many times and found some smart women cutting paper, so I was puzzled and asked my mother curiously: Why do they cut all kinds of patterns with paper? Mom said:? Paper-cutting is a traditional folk art in China. It uses different colors of paper to cut out different patterns with different meanings. ?

For example, the cut-out zodiac monkeys are lifelike and lifelike; The mouse is stealthy, and the mouse is eye-catching; The tiger bares its teeth and claws, and its hooves are raised, which is extremely powerful; The old cow is down-to-earth, with a simple and honest and hardworking look?

There are also 12 China Zodiacs printed as stamps, which fly to all parts of the world to let people around the world know about the profound paper-cutting culture in China.

Paper-cutting not only embodies the intelligence of folk artists, but also shows the intelligence of working people, which is the crystallization of folk traditional culture.
