“China is the birthplace of paper cutting. Fuyang is a city with a long history, rich folk customs and fine cultural atmosphere. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the art of paper cutting had already appeared. The city has also been named a “National Paper Cutting City” by the Ministry of Culture.
Paper-cuts can be used in various occasions. During festivals, paper-cuts are used for window decorations, symbolizing good luck and joy. They can also be used in making loose coverings for the chest or bibs with flowers or birds depicted on the cut paper. They are vivid and clear, combining both northern and southern paper cutting characteristics.”
