Appreciation of Chinese Valentines Day paper-cutting traditional character paper-cutting patterns

These are traditional character paper-cuts that I usually collect. Although I can do some handicrafts, I am not very good at paper-cutting. However, I have begun to learn, and I don’t think that I must reach a very high level. I mostly use this kind of paper-cutting method. This is a way to commemorate my great-grandmother. She has been dead for ten years, but the bits and pieces left in my memory are becoming more and more clear. There is always a voice in my heart asking me to write down all the people and things I remember. Write it out. I have a lot to say and a lot of things I want to describe in detail, but I don’t know how to start. When I feel particularly irritable, I look at these traditional paper-cuttings. At that time, my great-grandmother often made these paper-cuts, but I never even thought about asking for one. Maybe I was too sensitive at that time and I was embarrassed to ask others for anything, even if it was my great-grandmother who loved me the most.
