Introduction of Qingyang Folk Paper-cutting
Qingyang paper-cut is an ancient Han folk art. In Qingyang, Gansu, women will marry their daughters and celebrate their birthdays at the full moon on holidays. Rural women have to clean courts, paste walls, cut hinge paper and make window grilles. Stick red and green paper-cut flowers on window frames, kang wai, walls and door leaves to make your room colorful and prosperous. These paper-cut flowers have different names because of their different positions. Door flowers affixed to doors, window grilles affixed to windows, surrounding flowers affixed to kang walls, and ceiling flowers affixed to ceilings. Walking into Qingyang farmyard, paper-cut flowers can be seen everywhere. Paper-cut flowers blackened by fireworks are still firmly stuck in the window frames and kang walls of some uninhabited caves. Paper-cutting is as essential as whole grains in Qingyang. Where people live, there are paper-cut flowers.
