Chinese Paper Cutting or Jianzhi (剪纸) is the first type of papercutting design,
since paper was invented by Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty in China.

The designs are amazing. I really like to see all the beautiful places from Malaysia that you post about :)
Hi Paula. Thanks :) I’m glad you like seeing them. I’ll try to show you more yah! I miss your blog post…I hope you’ll update soon!
Didn’t know such craft can make a living in Malaysia. Nowadays you can get printed clear plastic paper cutting decorative sheet for Chinese new year. Sadly to say I actually bought some last cny! :-P
Hehe…actually I bought those plastic stickers paper cutting too in Japan’s chinatown ;p but traditional chinese papers still feels better la.
