Spring has many symbols in folk paper-cut patterns, and these symbols are usually symbols of spring in peoples minds. The most commonly used paper-cut pattern is plum blossom. Plum blossom has always been regarded as the primrose flower of spring, which also makes plum blossom appear very frequently in spring-related paper-cuts.


When people create paper-cutting, they hope to express as many auspicious meanings and blessings as possible, so if there is a plum blossom in the paper-cutting pattern, the thing that is combined with it is usually a magpie. The paper-cut pattern combined in this way also has a very nice name, that is "happy eyebrows". However, in this paper-cut pattern, swallows are used instead of magpies. Of course, this also has a nice saying, that is, "when swallows return, they cause plum blossoms."
