Chinese paper-cutting — UNESCO world intangible cultural heritage
Paper-cutting is a traditional folk art that uses scissors or knives to create decorative patterns. Widely practiced in China, it adorns daily life and festivals.
As the Year of the Horse approaches, horse-themed paper-cuttings are crafted nationwide to welcome Spring Festival.
