◎Papercuts

Handan papercuts have a history of thousands of years. With different patterns cut and pasted on windows,door lintels or desks for the festival atmosphere,papercuts became widely spread in Handan as the paper-making industry boomed in the Tang Dynasty. There are two distinct forms of papercuts in Handan: The most popular one of cutting patterns on red paper with scissors,which is made for fun; and the complicated and commercialized one of carving patterns on white paper and then dying it with special colors,which is quite similar to the Yu County papercuts.(https://www.daowen.com)
