Who says winter is flowerless? Window paper-cuts are its blooms.

As Spring Festival approaches, bright paper-cuts bloom in windows, instantly bringing color, warmth, and festive spirit into everyday life.

As an essential part of the Chinese New Year, window paper-cuts are more than just decorations. Each pattern carries its own meaning – blessings, good fortune and hopes for the year ahead. At "Spring Across Heaven and Earth, Blessings within Homes," a New Year-themed exhibition at the Tsinghua University Art Museum, you can find a rich collection of window paper-cuts and related artworks.
