Paper-cuts, a common folk art in China, have occupied the hearts of people since ancient times. During the Spring Festival , Chinese people in many places like to paste paper-cuts on windows for decoration, which not only help foster a festive atmosphere, but also bring enjoyment to the people.

Paper-cuts cover a wide range of subjects, most of which are about farmers' life, such as tilling, weaving, fishing, and herding. Besides, there are also paper-cuts about myths, folktales, the twelve symbolic animals, and other subjects.

Through exaggeration and transfiguration, these paper-cuts fully express the good wishes of Chinese people.
