This art form evolved from earlier materials like silk and animal skins, which were replaced by paper for its affordability and ease of use. Paper-cutting uses simple tools—scissors and a knife—to create intricate designs, ranging from lively figures like dancing children and animals to symbolic elements such as peonies, lotuses, and lucky words like "福" (happiness) or "寿" (longevity). Some designs also depict folk tales, such as the Monkey King. Red paper is the most popular material due to its association with good luck and joy in Chinese culture. During festivals like the Spring Festival, red paper-cuts shaped like dragons or phoenixes adorn doors and windows. However, artists also experiment with materials like gold foil for weddings or colorful cloth for clothing decorations. Paper-cuts serve practical and symbolic roles in daily life. They decorate homes during celebrations, symbolizing wishes for prosperity and happiness. For example, a fish design (symbolizing "abundance") is often placed on kitchen walls. As gifts, paper-cuts convey meaningful messages, such as a child gifting a sun design to a teacher. Regional styles vary significantly: northern styles are bold and powerful, while southern styles are delicate and detailed. For instance, Shanxi paper-cuts feature thick lines and strong shapes, whereas Zhejiang designs showcase intricate details like tiny petals and birds. In 2006, Chinese paper-cutting was recognized as an intangible cultural heritage. Today, this ancient art remains popular, with children learning basic techniques in schools and modern artists adapting it for greeting cards and phone cases.
