My Favorite Traditional Chinese Art
China, with a history of over 5000 years, is rich in various traditional arts, such as the liondance, Peking Opera, poetry, calligraphy and so on. My favorite traditional Chinese art is papercutting.
There are several reasons why I am fond of it. First and foremost, paper cutting is a uniqueform of Chinese folk art and has a history of more than 2000 years. It is worth paying attention to.Besides, it has specific meanings. As we all know, paper-cuts are usually made of red paper, whichis associated with happiness in traditional Chinese culture. Therefore, on festive occasions such asweddings and the Chinese New Year, red paper-cuts are the first choice for decorating doors andwindows. Most importantly, it represents cultural inheritance.
Paper cutting has gained popularity in many places of China. And I hope more and morepeople, especially the younger generation, will develop their interest in it and gradually fall in lovewith it.
