Chinese paper-cutting is a folk art of cutting patterns on paper with scissors or carving knives to decorate life or to complement other folk activities. In China, paper-cutting has a wide popular base and is interwoven into the social life of people of all ethnic groups, and is an important part of various folklore activities. On 20 May 2006, the State Council approved the inscription of paper-cutting art heritage on the first list of national intangible cultural heritage. At the fourth session of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage held from 28 September to 2 October 2009, the Chinese paper-cutting project nominated by China was inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
