A Brief of Chinese Paper-Cut
剪纸简介
Of all folk art works,paper-cut is the most participated. Often characterized by geographical regions, paper-cut is rich with historical and cultural heritage. Even though it has only been two thousand years since the invention of paper, the cultural implication and art forms that paper-cut represents goes back all the way to primitive society 6 000 - 7 000 years ago. The cultural value it carries far exceeds the value of art itself；it enriches the entire original Chinese art system, art formation and color structure, having deep impact on philosophy, aesthetics, history, ethnology, sociology and anthropology.
