What do you know about paper cutting
Where did it come from
Paper-cutting started in ancient China. As early as the Han Dynasty, people used scissors to cut paper into simple shapes. By the Tang and Song Dynasties, it became popular for festivals—people stuck paper-cuts on windows or doors for good luck.
What do we need for paper-cutting
You just need paper, scissors or knives. Red paper is the most common. It stands for joy and good fortune, perfect for Spring Festival or weddings. Sometimes people use colored paper or even gold foil.
What patterns do people cut
Lucky symbols: The Chinese character “福” means happiness and is often turned upside down, because “upside down” sounds like “arrive” in Chinese—meaning “happiness arrives”. The Chinese character “喜” (joy) is often used for weddings.
Nature: Flowers, birds, fish, or even pandas!
Folk stories: Scenes from “The Twelve Chinese Zodiacs” or farmers working in fields.
Why is paper-cutting important
Today, paper-cutting isn’t just a craft—it’s a way to pass on Chinese culture. During Spring Festival, many families still stick red paper-cuts of “福” on windows. Artists also make modern paper-cuts to show new life in China.
Look and say
A pair of scissors, several pieces of red paper, and a piece of paper-cutting artwork.
A paper-cut of flowers.
A paper-cut of the Chinese charater “Fu”.
A paper-cut of a bull and a plant.

Chinese clay is a traditional Chinese folk art and is made of soft clay. It’s often shaped, and painted into works like zodiac animals.
It’s mostly used during festivals like Spring Festival and Lantern Festival, and sometimes as daily toys or decorations for families.
At home, they’re placed on living room shelves or bedroom desks.
People use them on special days because they symbolize good wishes (like happiness and health) and make festivals more lively.

Spring Festival couplets are traditional festive works for Chinese New Year—usually written on red paper with black or gold characters.
People use them before Spring Festival Eve: Most families paste them in the afternoon or evening of New Year’s Eve, to get ready for the new year’s arrival.
The two vertical couplets are pasted on the left and right sides of the front door frame and the horizontal scroll is stuck on the top of the door.
Red paper symbolizes driving away bad luck, and the couplets’ words express people’s wishes for a happy and lucky new year.

New Year pictures are traditional colorful artworks for Spring Festival—they’re usually printed or painted on paper.
Families buy or stick them up when decorating their homes, to get ready for the new year’s celebration.
They’re mostly pasted in easy-to-see places at home—like the living room wall above the sofa, the door of the bedroom, or even the kitchen.
Their bright colors make the Spring Festival more lively; the subjects express wishes for a lucky new year, and they also help pass down Chinese folk culture and stories.

Sugar painting is a beloved traditional Chinese folk art, often seen at temple fairs, school gates, or Spring Festival stalls. Artists first melt brown or white sugar into a thick, shiny liquid. Then, with a small spoon in hand, they “draw” quickly on a smooth marble table—pouring the sugar liquid to make vivid shapes like zodiac animals, dragons, or even little flowers...
