A perfect combination of Chinese classics and paper cuttings. Six intangible cultural heritage paper cutting masters spent 433 days applying the paper cutting skills that have been passed down over 3,000 years, creatively blending their work with the memories of Tang, Song, and Yuan verse, offering insights on their expressions of Asian beauty. In this book, six masters are invited to collaborate on creative works in the tradition of six national intangible cultural heritage forms that are on the verge of extinction, including Gaomi paper cutting, Yuxian paper cutting, Horinger paper cutting, Fuyang paper cutting, Guangling paper cutting, and Fangzheng paper cutting. The art of paper cutting is used to create artistic conceptions of Tang, Song, and Yuan verse, offering new insights into those poetic traditions.
