Yangzhou paper-cutting, with a h 1 of 2,000 years, can be dated back to the Sui Dynasty, making Yangzhou one of the places where paper-cutting f 2 became popular.
In the Sui Dynasty, the people of Yangzhou would cut c 3 paper or silk and satin(缎子) to celebrate festivals. It is said that Emperor(皇帝) Yang came to Yangzhou three t 4. In winter, the flowers and trees in the garden became dry and weak. The emperor ordered the girl servants to cut fine silk and satin into flowers and leaves and use them to decorate the trees and lakes. Since then, “colourful cutting” has become a p 5 art form in Yangzhou.
In the Tang Dynasty, the paper-cutting industry was highly developed and a l 6 amount of high-quality paper was made as presents to the Court(宫廷).
In the Qing Dynasty, b 7 of the economic development, the people of Yangzhou became interested in w 8 fine clothing, especially embroidered(刺绣的) clothing. The embroidered designs were based on paper-cuts, the most well-known of them was from Bao Jun, a paper-cutting master. He w 9 a high reputation(名声) as Magic Scissors for his wonderful cutting skills.
After the People's Republic of China was founded, the government accepted the importance of paper-cutting like many other arts and skills. In 2007, China Paper-cuts Museum opened to the p 10 in the back garden of the Wang's Residence(住所), Yangzhou, greatly helping the development of Yangzhou paper-cutting.
