When people say Chinese culture, we often think of paper-cutting. Paper-cutting is an art form with a long history in China. Traditional paper-cuts were first put on windows for decoration. That is why paper-cuts are also called "window flowers".
Most paper-cuts are made of red paper, because red means good luck in Chinese culture. Today, people use paper-cuts to decorate not only windows, but also doors and other furniture (家具).
Paper-cuts are popular because of their expressions of good wishes and hopes. During the Spring Festival, for example, many people put up paper-cuts of the Chinese character "福" upside down on the door. At wedding ceremonies (婚礼), you can always see paper-cuts of the character "喜". It means that the new couple can enjoy happiness together.
Paper-cuts from the north of China usually have interesting shapes. In southern China, people prefer paper-cuts with the themes (主题) of flowers, fruit, birds and fish.
It's quite easy to learn paper-cutting. With a piece of paper and a knife or a pair of scissors, you can try to make your own paper-cuts. But you need a lot of practice and imagination to become really good at it.

Ancient art doesn't have to be boring. Technology in the 21st century can help to bring it to life by combining (融合) the best of the old and the new.
Along the River During the Qingming Festival
Walking into the China Pavilion at Expo 2010 in Shanghai, people were amazed by seeing a huge digital (数码的) painting. Scientists digitized the famous painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival by Chinese artist Zhang Zeduan.
The original (原先的) painting shows life during the Northern Song period and it includes many details of ancient Chinese customs, lifestyles and technology.
In the digital painting, a lot of these details are animated (做成动画). Farmers work in the fields, and sailors move around their boats and people eat and do business in restaurants. Parts of the background are also animated. You can see the wind blowing through the trees and across the water. These animations perfectly combine modern technology and ancient art.
Digital technology allows today's artists to express their ideas in ways that ancient artists would not believe possible. Techniques such as animation and 3D digital projection (投影) make art come alive.
Dunhuang Cave Paintings
Dunhuang Caves, which are protected ancient treasures in the Gobi Desert in Northwest China, are filled with paintings and sculptures (雕塑) with lasting value. This artwork was created over a period of around 1,000 years.
The good news is for art lovers who cannot travel and for the caves.
Scientists have created a 360-degree, 3D digital projection of the caves, which makes the artwork come alive. There is also a function that lets viewers zoom in and enjoy the paintings and sculptures in greater detail.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in traditional Chinese handicrafts (手工艺品) both at home and abroad. These handicrafts, with a history of thousands of years, carry rich cultural connotations (内涵) and show the wisdom and creativity of the Chinese people.
One of the most famous traditional handicrafts is Chinese paper-cutting. Using just a pair of scissors and a piece of paper, skilled artisans can create delicate (精美的) patterns, from beautiful flowers and lively animals to vivid scenes of daily life. Paper-cutting is not only a decorative art but also has special meanings. For example, fish often stands for prosperity, while the Chinese character "fu" (meaning good luck) is a common theme during festivals.

Today, efforts are being made to promote these traditional handicrafts.

Almost all of us think if there are no air conditioners, we cannot live through summer. However, in ancient China, hand fans were almost the only tool for people to drive away the summer heat.
Chinese people started to use hand fans over 2,000 years ago. The fans came in different shapes, such as round and square. They were also made from all kinds of materials (材料). Palm leaf (棕榈叶) fans were cheap and easy to make. Feather fans showed the owner's high status (地位). Sandalwood fans could send out a sweet smell.
Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool you down. They developed into artworks, in which tuanshan (round fans) and zheshan (folded fans) were the most common.
Tuanshan is also called Wanshan or Gongshan. It's a Chinese Traditional Handkcrat. In the shape of a full moon, tuanshan was usually made of silk. They had beautiful embroidery (刺绣) of birds and flowers on them. In the Tang Dynasty, Tuanshan as an accessory (配饰) was popular with ladies. Poets in ancient China often compared a woman's abandoned fate (被抛弃的命运) to tuanshan. Nalan Xingde wrote during the Qing Dynasty, "If only life were as beautiful as when we first met, why should the autumn wind bother to pity deserted painted fans?"

However, men, especially the literati (文人) used zheshan, or folded fans. The literati liked them because zheshan were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them. It was a way for them to show off their talents in literature, painting and calligraphy (书法). Almost anything can be painted on zheshan, but the most popular ones usually featured landscapes (以风景画为特色).
Today, Chinese people still use these fans, only not many write or paint on them any more. So the next time you use a fan, you may think of the stories behind it.
