Inheritance and Innovation —— Paper-cutting ( Intangible heritage in China)

Paper-cutting, as a unique folk art of China, has become a treasure of intangible cultural heritage due to its exquisite craftsmanship and rich cultural connotations. Originating in the Han Dynasty, paper-cutting has developed distinct styles characterized by the ruggedness of the North and the delicacy of the South, and it is widely used in festive celebrations and weddings, adding a joyful atmosphere to traditional holidays.

As time has evolved, paper-cutting has gradually integrated into modern life, becoming an important element of contemporary artistic creation. Many young artists combine this traditional craft with modern design concepts, creating innovative works that breathe new life into paper-cutting.
