Paper-cutting is a unique form of Chinese folk art, which has a history of 2000 years. Paper-cutting probably originated in the Han Dynasty, after the invention of paper.

Since then, it has been popularized in many parts of China. The materials and tools used for paper-cutting are simple: paper and scissors. Paper-cut works are usually made of red paper, because red is associated with happiness in traditional Chinese culture. Therefore, in the wedding, Spring Festival and other festive occasions, red paper-cut is the first choice for doors and Windows decoration.
