Paper Cutting and Sky Lanterns

Paper cutting has been around for over 1,500 years. Paper cutting is difficult to do. The paper, usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, animals and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of good wishes and a happy new year.

Sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.
