The Spring Festival is coming soon! Will you try making some paper cuttings(剪紙)? Paper cutting is one of the traditional folk arts(民間藝術) in China. It has a long history of more than 1500 years. People always use paper, scissors and knives to make paper cuttings.

It's difficult to tell when it started. People found paper cuts of animals in tombs(墓) in the Northern and Southern Dynasty(南北朝). By the Southern Song Dynasty, paper cutting had become an important part of everyday life. At that time, a young man would look at a young woman's paper-cutting skills before marrying her.

Paper cuttings are mostly used for decoration(裝飾). In China, it is common to see paper cuttings on walls, windows, doors and mirrors during holidays. People make them to show their joy or their wishes for good luck and health. People also use paper cuttings as design patterns on clothing. They make the clothes look special and different. What’s more, paper cuttings are made to be great gifts for friends and love ones.

It is easy to learn paper cutting but very difficult to make it perfect. We need to learn how to use the scissors and the engraving knife. Moreover, we need a lot of practice to learn paper-cutting skills.

A funny thing is that, in many parts of China nowadays, paper-cuttings skills are still a must for women because people think they are a symbol of a clever mind.

1.What tools(工具) do we need to make paper cuttings?

2.When had paper cutting become an important part of everyday life?

3.Why do people make paper cuttings on holidays in China?

4.Is it easy to learn paper cutting and make it perfect?

Who is Li Ziqi(李子柒) ? The 29-year-old vlogger's videos about her countryside life becomes so hot these days. Her fans call her “the goddess of nature”.

What makes her so popular? Cooking, painting, designing, farming... 65.It seems that she lives a quiet but colorful life. In her videos, Li wears Hanfu that she made herself. She also rears silkworms(養(yǎng)蠶) to sew（縫制）quilts. She even makes lipstick(口紅)with roses she grows. She also uses fruits picked from her own garden to make wine.

Li grew up in a small village in Sichuan province. When she was 14, she went to the city to work. But she soon went back to the countryside so that she could take care of her sick grandmother.

To make a living, Li started an online store. At first, she just used her videos to show her products. But her simple lifestyle quickly won many fans for her.現(xiàn)在人們認為觀看她的視頻是放松的最佳方式。

For her fans who are from foreign countries, they feel more interested in Li's deep knowledge of food, nature and Chinese culture. “I can see how good Chinese people are at cooking! I didn't know I could cook meat like that until I finished watching her video.” one foreign fan wrote on YouTube excitedly.

As China Daily said, Li shows the world that Chinese people enjoy life, love good food and are good at making art out of the simplest materials. With her videos, she really makes the world learn more about Chinese culture. 她還建議外國朋友來中國吃美食。 She did not praise China with a single word, but she did a good job showing real beautiful life in China.
