When talking about Chinese culture,we often think of paper-cutting. Paper-cutting is an art form with a long history in China. Traditional paper-cuts were first put up on windows for decoration(装饰). 11
Most paper-cuts are made of red paper,because red means good luck in Chinese culture. Today,people use paper-cuts to decorate not only windows,but also doors and other furniture(家具). 12
Paper-cuts are popular as symbols of good wishes and hopes. During the Spring Festival,for example,many people put up paper-cuts of the Chinese character(汉字) “Fu” upside down on the door. 13 At wedding ceremonies(婚礼),you can always see paper-cuts of the Chinese character “Xi”. It means that the new couple can enjoy happiness together.
14 Paper-cuts from the north of China usually have interesting shapes. In the south of China,people prefer paper-cuts with the themes(主题) of flowers,fruit,birds and fish.
