Chinese paper cutting is one of those traditional crafts that feels simple at first, but becomes more meaningful the more you look at it.

A single sheet of paper can become a flower, a zodiac animal, a festival decoration, or a blessing for the home. Many patterns also carry symbolic meanings. Fish can suggest abundance, peonies are often linked with prosperity, and the character “fu” is used to welcome good fortune.

What I love about Chinese paper cutting is how much culture can live inside such a small handmade object. It is decorative, but it is also a form of storytelling passed through festivals, families, and everyday life.
