Nanjing Paper-Cutting

This nanjing paper-cutting is famous for its happy flower and Douxiang flower types. On the occasions of wedding and celebrations, Nanjingers like to decorate the dowry with paper-cutting artifacts made from scarlet red paper. Its pattern is filled up with propitious illustrations according to the need and particular paper shapes. There are flower-in-flower, theme-in-theme and subtlety-in-brevity patterns. Deftness is highlighted in the naivety. The theme of Douxiang paper-cutting ranges from dramatic tales, historical legends, and folklores to propitious patterns and flowers.
