Paper-cutting is one of the oldest Chinese folk arts, and as a kind of hollow art, it can give people a visual sense of transparency and artistic enjoyment. Paper-cutting means that one uses scissors to cut paper into a variety of patterns, such as window flowers, door paper, wall flowers, ceiling flowers, lantern flowers and so on.
