About Paper Cutting has more than 2000 years of history, being a traditional

Chinese folk art, it could be traced back to the Han dynasty (206 BC to221 AD)

When paper was invented. Paper was very precious at the time, so this art became

Popular only among the royal families and nobles. By the 14th century, the art

Spread to Japan and also to the Middle East and Europe via the famous Silk Road.

Widely used during folk festivals and celebration occasions, paper cuts often

Contain auspicious meanings. Even Now, most of artwork dealers import silhouettes

From china, the origin of Chinese paper cutting!
