Chinese Paper Sculpture
Paper cutting is a traditional art that has evolved throughout the course of Chinese cultural development. Its origin is closely
connected with the invention of paper during the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 221 AD.) The art of paper cutting was on the verge
of dying out during the past century as old China experienced successive years of war brought on by domestic turmoil and foreign
invasion. Amidst a myriad of changes in their lives, most people had no leisure time to engage in the study of the art of
paper cutting. Today Chinese artisans hope to revive traditional paper art and share it with the world.
