The people cut animals, flowers and figures in the paper with a pair of scissors or a knife mainly to decorate their doors and windows. Paper-cut is also called window flower cutting or picture cutting. Paper-cut has long history and represents strong national style and local features. It was mostly popular in Qing Dynasty and many skills were developed at that time. It is made by single color paper or colored paper, both presenting pictures vivid and natural.
