Chinese paper-cutting originated from the Han Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and was quite good at it, but it really flourished after the middle of the Qing Dynasty. Ancient paper-cuts were mostly made in rural areas, mainly scissors, simple and natural, all made by peasant women. After paper-cutting enters the city, not only citizens' interests and life ideals have to participate in the art of paper-cutting, but thousands of families in Qian Qian are crowded together, accustomed to each other and demanding a lot; In order to save labor, paper-cutting artists changed to carving with one knife and multiple pieces, and their styles turned to exquisiteness, and artists were not limited to women. However, with the changes of the times, life and aesthetics, traditional folk art can't meet the needs of reality gradually, so modern emerging paper-cutting art was born.

Paper-cutting is a folk art with a unique artistic style, which is carved by hand and then dyed with bright and beautiful colors. Working people put it on paper windows as a decoration for New Year's festivals, so it is also called "window grilles".

The contents of traditional window grilles are mainly opera figures, flowers, insects, fish and beasts, as well as some auspicious and homophonic images, which are filled with cheerful, healthy and love life feelings and are deeply loved by the masses.
