Ⅰ.阅读理解

Chinese Paper Cutting or Jianzhi is the first type of paper cutting design, since paper was invented by Cai Lun in Eastern Han Dynasty in China.This art form dates back to the sixth century.Chinese women would cut shapes from gold and silver foil(箔) to paste to their hair.Families later adopted the tradition of putting paper cuttings on gates and windows on special days.Eventually, red paper cuttings became a way to express happy feelings and well wishes.At weddings, a cutting of the “囍” character, which represents “double happiness”, is commonly used.

Hongkong paper cutting master Li Yunxia makes the craft look easy.She learned the paper cutting from her mother and grandmother from the age of six.According to Li,“all you need are paper, scissors and a lot of skill”.Li was born in Shanxi Province where paper cutting is still practiced and taught.Today, she teaches the ancient craft to people of all ages.

Today some artists are turning paper cutting into a new art form.They often add paint and other materials to the cuttings.They mix imagination with skill to create unique designs.

Some of the most beautiful pieces of paper art come from Nahoko Kojima of Japan.She is a leader in the field of paper-cut art as“sculptures”.One of her most famous pieces, Byaku, is a life-size swimming polar bear that hangs from the ceiling.Kojima created the piece from a single sheet of paper, three meters long.

Yuken Teruya of New York is known for his modern designs using old paper bags.Bags from McDonald’s and other stores are turned on their sides.People peek inside to discover tiny, delicately cut trees.

No matter how simple and complicated the design is, paper cutting remains a beloved Chinese craft.The next time you see a paper cutting, take a moment to appreciate it.
