Paper cutting refer to handicrafts made by cutting paper with scissors to form different patterns and pasting them on walls, windows, doors and ceilings.
With their long history, paper cutting, which originated in China, have been very popular among the ordinary people of China. The first paper cutting can be traced back to the Northern and Southern Dynasties (386~581) period. The initiation and spread of paper cutting had a close relationship with Chinese rural festivals. People pasted paper cutting on walls, windows and doors at wedding ceremonies or festivals to enhance the festive atmosphere.
