中英雙語話中國民風民俗 第101期:剪紙簡介
Of all folk art works,paper-cut is the most participated. Often characterized by geographical regions, paper-cut is rich with historical and cultural heritage. Even though it has only been two thousand years since the invention of paper, the cultural implication and art forms that paper-cut represents goes back all the way to primitive society 6 000 - 7 000 years ago. The cultural value it carries far exceeds the value of art itself；it enriches the entire original Chinese art system, art formation and color structure, having deep impact on philosophy, aesthetics, history, ethnology, sociology and anthropology.
所有的民間藝術作品，剪紙是最具代表性的。往往以地理區域爲特點，剪紙具有豐富的歷史文化遺產。雖然剪紙的發明只有二千多年，其文化意蘊和藝術形式的代表可以追溯到原始社會的6000-7000年前。它承載的文化價值遠遠超出藝術本身的價值，它豐富了整個中國原創藝術體系，藝術的形成和顏色結構，在哲學，美學，歷史學，民族學，社會學和人類學方面有深遠的影響。
