1. In ancient times, human beings have discovered and used the artistic techniques represented by images, and then created artistic languages carved and infiltrated on various materials. This is reflected in many primitive painted pottery rock paintings, Shang and Zhou bronzes and Han stone reliefs, and the perfection of ancient craftsmen's application of this artistic technique. Today's folk paper-cutting has obvious consistency with its modeling method and external characteristics, which fully shows the inheritance and continuation relationship between them.

2. China folk paper-cut handicraft art has its own formation and development process. China's paper was invented in the Western Han Dynasty BC. Before this, it was impossible to have the art of paper-cutting, but at that time, people used the thin material hollowing-out carving technology to make handicrafts, but it was popular long before paper appeared, that is, carving, carving and cutting patterns on gold foil, leather, silk and even leaves.

3. It is recorded in Historical Records Jiantong Di Feng that in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, a king cut a plane tree leaf into a "reed" and gave it to his younger brother, who was named Hou in the Tang Dynasty. During the Warring States period, leather carving and silver foil hollowed-out engraving were removed together with paper-cutting, and their appearance laid a certain foundation for the formation of folk paper-cutting. China's earliest paper-cut works were discovered in 1967, when China archaeologists discovered two paper-cuts with flowers from the Northern Dynasties in Astana near Gaochang site in Turpan Basin, Xinjiang. They use hemp paper, all of which are folded sacrificial paper-cuts. Their discovery provides physical evidence for the formation of Chinese paper-cutting.
