The Spring Festival is
coming soon! Will you try making some paper
cuttings(
剪纸
)? Paper
cutting is one of the traditional folk
arts(
民间艺术
) in China. It has
a long history of more than 1500
years.
People always use paper, scissors and knives to
make paper cuttings.
It's
difficult to tell when it started. People found
paper cuts of animals in
tombs(
墓
) in the
Northern and Southern
Dynasty(
南北朝
). By the
Southern Song Dynasty, paper cutting had become
an important part of everyday life. At
that time, a young man would look at a young
woman's
paper-cutting skills before
marrying her.
Paper cuttings are mostly
used for decoration(
装饰
). In
China, it is common to see paper
cuttings on walls, windows, doors and
mirrors during holidays. People make them to show
their joy
or their wishes for good luck
and health. People also use paper cuttings as
design patterns on
clothing. They make
the
clothes look special and different.
What’s more, paper cuttings are made to
be great gifts for friends and love
ones.
It is easy to learn paper cutting
but very difficult to make it perfect. We need to
learn how to use
the scissors and the
engraving knife. Moreover, we need a lot of
practice to learn paper-cutting
skills.
A funny thing is that, in many parts of
China nowadays, paper-cuttings skills are still a
must for
women because people think
they are a symbol of a clever mind.
40.
What tools(
工具
) do we need to
make paper cuttings?
41. When had paper
cutting become an important part of everyday life?
42. Why do people make paper cuttings
on holidays in China?
43. Is it easy to
learn paper cutting and make it perfect?
44. What do people think of women who
are good at making paper cuttings?
【答案】
40. Paper, scissors and
knives.
41. By the Southern Song
Dynasty, paper cutting had become an important
part of everyday life.
42. Because
they used them for decoration
43.
No. It is easy to learn paper cutting but very
difficult to make it perfect.
44.

blue house. There was no snow,
but there were beautiful lights
