Dynasties, It appeared at the same time of discovery of Chinese
papermaking and was still prosperous across China.

the magnificent and beautiful flowers in the Chinese national
artistic treasures.
Chinese paper cutting is a unique
art form and has existed for thousands of years with a long
history featuring both national and regional themes. Paper began
as a precious commodity in the Han Dynasty. Most of the people
with access to paper for an entertainment cause such as art were
usually nobles in royal palaces. The Song Dynasty scholar Chou Mi
mentioned several paper cutters who cut paper with scissors into
a great variety of designs and characters in different s, and a
young man who could even cut characters and flowers inside his
sleeve. The oldest surviving paper cut out is a symmetrical
circle from the 6th century found in Xinjiang, China.
From the 7th to *3th century, paper
cutting became popular especially during Chinese holiday
festivals. The art spread to the rest of the world in the *4th
century. Throughout the Qing Dynasty many paper cutting skills
were developed including drafting and the use of smoked papers.
By the end of the Qing ruling, however, new art forms were being
introduced.
