讲述剪纸艺术的历史。初现于6世纪中国西部，7-13世纪开始流行，尤其是春节期间。

In the beginning, Chinese people used thin materials like leaves to make the cutting. After paper was invented, they found that this material was easy to cut. And then　　paper became the main material for paper-cutting.

开始人们用树叶等比较薄的材料剪纸，后来纸发明之后，成为了主要材料。

People make paper-cutting to show beautiful things and their good wishes. They also show traditional culture or their own feelings with different styles of paper-cutting. People include everything in paper-cutting, from great people to the things that we can find in everyday life such as birds, flowers and animals. There are also some Chinese characters in traditional Chinese paper-cutting. The most common five characters are “福 (blessing)”, “禄 (career)”, “寿 (long life)”, “喜 (happiness)”, “财 (wealth)”. These characters show people’s hope for those five parts of life.

In some parts of China, people think paper-cutting is an important skill for women and a sign of clever mind.　　Chinese paper cutting has become more than just a traditional art form. It is also a symbol of Chinese culture. In recent years, Chinese paper cutting has been enjoyed by people all over the world.
