Complete collection of lantern paper-cut patterns
Lanterns are the most common decorations in traditional Chinese festivals.
The origin of lanterns dates back more than 1,800 years.
It is precisely because of people’s love for lanterns that lantern-themed paper-cut creations can often be seen in traditional folk paper-cut patterns.
The high hanging lanterns symbolize beauty and reunion. The red lanterns are "grafted" onto the red paper-cut creations, and the beautiful meaning of prosperity is still retained. Even if no lanterns are hung, just red paper-cut lanterns can create a pleasant atmosphere.
Like traditional lanterns, paper-cut lanterns themselves not only have the style of a lantern, but also have some related mascots, such as flowers and birds, fish and insects, phoenixes, landscapes, characters, etc.
Lanterns have a beautiful meaning that symbolizes "the people are prosperous and the country is strong" in all dynasties, so making a paper-cut of a lantern can also express such beautiful blessings.
