ABOUT THIS WORK
Hopei or Hebei is a province of North East China, on the Gulf of Chihli near Beijing that is home to Chengde Mountain Resort, the imperial summer residence of the Qing-dynasty emperors. Chengde contains 18th-century palaces, gardens, and pagodas ringed by Buddhist temples.
Paper-cutting has been a popular art form among the Chinese people for centuries. A great variety of paper-cuts can be found throughout China’s provinces, cities, and vast countryside—each region having its own characteristic style.
Executed with scissors and sharp knives, paper cuts were traditionally made by peasants and folk artists to decorate their homes. They were frequently pasted on doors, windows, and walls. Some were used to decorate paper lanterns and gift packages; others served as embroidery patterns for pillowcases, hats, aprons, and shoes.
Paper cuts from Hopei Province are imbued with a feeling of the people’s intimate connection with the ever-renewing vitality of nature, and the hope and happiness that relationship inspires. These works, enhanced with expertly rendered watercolor, are famed for their freshness, energy, and refined sense of balance and harmony.
— From the introduction to this suite of paper cuts, compiled by the Union of Chinese Artists; distributed by Guozi Shudian, Pekin, China, 1956.
