Paper-cutting—an art full of life
Zhao Yue’s hands move quickly. She is working on a picture of bamboo.“I love paper-cutting,” she says. “You don’t need much to start working—just a pair of scissors or a knife and some paper. Anyone can try it,” she adds.
After years of practice, Zhao Yue is now a great master of paper-cutting. Her works on the walls in her home are beautiful. They are in the shape of flowers, birds, fish and landscapes.
“Paper-Cuts are not just beautiful. We use them to express our wishes. At the Spring Festival, we put them up on windows and doors for good luck,” says Zhao Yue. “And at weddings, we put up ‘double happiness’ in the new couple’s home for good wishes.”
Zhao Yue makes the last cut. She hands me the bamboo picture, smiling, “This is called zhubaoping'an. It means 'I wish you a safe and healthy life’.” The bamboo seems to be alive, and the leaves look like they are dancing. I feel the warmth and life of this traditional folk art.

Think about the questions below. Share your answers with your classmates.
1 When and where do you often see paper-cuts in your life
I often see paper-cuts during the Spring Festival. They are put up on windows, doors and walls in my home. Also, when there is a wedding in my neighborhood, paper - cuts with patterns like double happiness are used to decorate the place.
2 Which do you like better, paper-cuts of animals and plants, or the ones with Chinese characters Why
I like paper-cuts of animals and plants better. They are full of life and vividness. Just looking at a paper-cut of a blooming flower or a lively rabbit can make me feel the beauty of nature.
3 Some young people like paper-cutting. Why do you think it is popular with young people
Because it allows us to show creativity by designing unique works. We can freely combine different shapes like circles, triangles and squares to form new patterns. And it also serves as a relaxation method after study. When we’re tired from hours of doing homework , sitting down to do some paper-cutting is a great way to unwind. We can fully concentrate on the simple action of cutting the paper, forgetting about the stress of tests and assignments.
e.g. It seems too late. Let's have a rest and work on the plan tomorrow morning, shall we
似乎太晚了。咱们休息一下,明天早上再做计划，好吗
