Dear tourists,
Welcome to Huaibei Museum. First, let’s go into the Paper Cutting Gallery. Let me introduce it to you.
In China, paper cutting has a long history of over 1,500 years. It can be found in different parts of China. The red paper is folded before it is cut with scissors.People cut paper into different shapes, like birds, animals, flowers and so on. People usually put them on doors or windows when they celebrate the Spring Festival.
Chinese paper cutting is not only beautiful and meaningful but also a symbol of Chinese culture.Next, let’s move to another gallery…
Thanks for
your attention!
