What is Traditional Chinese Paper Cutting?

Paper Cutting is one of the most popular folk arts in China. The Chinese make paper cuts for celebrations, festivals and home decoration, with the extensive use of red, which is the lucky color in China. It usually has a heavy emphasis on single or a few Chinese characters often symbolizing with the Chinese Zodiac animals.
