When talking about Chinese culture, we often think of paper-cutting. Paper-cutting is an art form with a long history in China. Traditional paper-cuts were first put up on windows for decoration(装饰). 16
Most paper-cuts are made of red paper, because red means good luck in Chinese culture. Today, people use paper-cuts to decorate not only windows, but also doors and other furniture(家具). 17
Paper-cuts are popular as symbols of good wishes and hopes. During the Spring Festival, for example, many people put up paper-cuts of the Chinese character(汉字) “Fu” upside down on the door. 18 At wedding ceremonies(婚礼), you can always see paper-cuts of the Chinese character “Xi”. It means that the new couple can enjoy happiness together.
19 Paper-cuts from the north of China usually have interesting shapes. In the south of China, people prefer paper-cuts with the themes(主题) of flowers, fruit, birds and fish.
It’s quite easy to learn paper-cutting. With a piece of paper and a knife or a pair of scissors, you can try to make your own paper-cuts. 20 But you need a lot of practice and imagination to become really good at it.
