Chinese Paper-Cut

Paper-cut is a very distinctive visual art of Chinese handicrafts. The kind of art went after the invention of paper in Han Dynasty, once became one of the main form of arts, and was popular to the people of the time. When I was a child , my aunt taught me how to make a paper cut. No doubt that arts come from life and serve life.  The bright colors of red papercuts provide a strong foil to set off a merry atmosphere. So they are often found in wedding ceremonies or festivals in China. I am so proud of my country people, because they always make the amazing art just with some simple tools.
