Legend has it that during the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24),Emperor Wudi was very sad after one of his favorite concubines, Madame Li, died. A Taoist priest, LiShaoweng, cut a piece of hemp paper in the shape of Madame Li. When evening fell, the emperorsservants lit candles in his bedroom; the reflection of that paper-cut on the wall made the emperor thinkabout his beloved concubine. The Yuxian paper-cut is different from most paper-cuts produced in other regions of China.Paper-cuts from other regions are mostly cut-with scissors or knives-from single-coloredpaper, such as red or black paper. There are four major procedures to making the Yuxian paper-cut: First, sketch the pattern on the draftpaper; second, fasten the draft to the paper to be cut; third, use a knife to carve out the pattern; and fourth,dye( 染色) the paper-cut with various colors. Precise cutting skills are needed to make a piece of the Yuxian paper-cut, which highlights thecraft makers artistic taste and dyeing skills. That explains the following saying: The successfulmaking of a Yuxian paper-cut is 30 percent dependent on the makers cutting skills, and 70 percenton the makers dyeing skills. The traditional Yuxian paper-cut highlights two themes: Flowers and characters in Chinese operas. Thepaper-cut is particularly known for its vivid description of characters in various traditional Chinese operas.In October xx, the art of Yuxians paper-cut was added to the list of intangible Cultural Heritage(非物质文化遗产) established by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization).12.
