Zhongyang paper-cutting, a folk art from Zhongyang County, north China's Shanxi Province, is deeply intertwined with local traditions and culture. This art form primarily explores local folklore, seasonal rituals, life ceremonies and mythical legends. Decorative motifs frequently include fish, frogs, snakes and rabbits, illustrating various seasonal customs and folk myths. They are crafted predominantly from red paper to reflect a festive and warm atmosphere.
Since 2009, Chinese paper-cutting has been recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage. This timeless art form transcends traditional boundaries, finding its way into contemporary design elements such as fashion and decorative items.
