Chinese paper-cutting is a folk art of cutting and carving patterns on paper with scissors or carving knives, which is used to decorate life or cooperate with other folk activities.
In China, paper-cutting has a broad mass base and is integrated into the social life of people of all ethnic groups. It is an important part of various folk activities.

Paper-cutting has been in a period of great development in the Tang Dynasty. In Du Fu's poem Peng ADB, there is a saying that "warm soup is enough for me and paper is enough for my soul", and the custom of evoking souls by paper-cutting has been circulated among the people at that time. The paper-cut in the Tang Dynasty, which is now in the British Museum, shows that the paper-cut at that time had a high level of manual art and a complete picture composition, expressing an ideal realm between heaven and earth.
