C
Paper cutting is a kind of traditional Chinese art. The bright colors of red, green or light blue paper cutting create a happy atmosphere(氛围). So it is often found at weddings or festivals in China.
A thousand years ago, paper cutting was used for decorations. Women in the Tang Dynasty used paper cutting as the headdress(头饰). In the Song Dynasty, it was the decoration of the gifts. People put it on windows or doors or used it as decorations on walls, mirrors or lanterns.
Paper cutting is all made by hand. Learners only need a pair of scissors and some paper. For craftsmen, they need scissors and different knives to make special patterns. Simple patterns are cut with scissors. For complicated(复杂的) patterns, people first paste(粘贴) the pattern on the paper and then use different kinds of knives to make it. No mistake should be made during the process, or the work would not succeed.
In the past, women living in the countryside stayed together in their free time to make paper cutting. As society develops, fewer and fewer people learn this skill. At present, there are factories and organizations for paper cutting in China. Sometimes shows and exchanges are held. Paper cutting has changed from the decoration to a kind of art. At the same time, paper cutting also appears in cartoons, magazines or TV series.
