Paper cutting, also known as paper carving, is one of the oldest folk arts in China. Paper-cutting is an art of hollowing out, visually giving people an artistic enjoyment. The art is created with paper as the processing object and scissors (or carving knife) as the tool. Paper-cutting is extremely popular among the people and has a long history. As a traditional Chinese culture, it occupies an important place in folklore activities. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there were already professional folk paper-cutting artists. Paper-cutting in a certain sense expresses people's "happiness, anger, sadness and joy" and has a profound moral meaning.
