1、中国传统文化剪纸艺术的历史有着它自身的形成和发展过程。早在春秋战国时期，人们就通过镂空雕刻的技法在一些薄片材料上制作工艺品，这是早在纸张出现以前就开始流行起来的，虽不是纸张制作，但却如出一辙，这就为真正意义上的剪纸出现奠定了基础。据说我国最早的剪纸作品就可以为此证明。

1. The history of Chinese traditional culture and paper-cut art has its own formation and development process. As early as the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, people made handicrafts on some thin-film materials through hollow carving techniques, which became popular long before the emergence of paper. Although it was not made of paper, it was the same, which laid the foundation for the emergence of paper-cut in the real sense. It is said that China's earliest paper-cut works can prove this.

2、而关于中国传统文化剪纸的历史，即真正意义上的剪纸艺术，应该是纸张的出现才正式开始的。剪纸的主要制作材料就是纸，而汉代时期纸张的出现，这就促进了剪纸的出现、发展和普及。那时候的纸张易腐烂，所以人们不会珍藏起来，坏了还能重新再剪。

2. As for the history of Chinese traditional culture paper-cut, that is, the real sense of paper-cut art, it should be the emergence of paper. The main production material of paper-cut is paper, and the emergence of paper in the Han Dynasty promoted the emergence, development and popularization of paper-cut. At that time, the paper was perishable, so people would not treasure it. If it was broken, it could be cut again.

3、北朝时期，人们用纸剪出各种美丽的图案花纹，据说目前发现最早且有据可查的剪纸便是在新疆吐鲁番火焰山附近发现的五幅北朝团花剪纸。那时候我国西北地区气候干燥且少雨，纸张不易霉烂，小编猜想，这或许也是在新疆发现北朝剪纸的一个重要原因吧。

3. During the Northern Dynasty, people cut all kinds of beautiful patterns with paper. It is said that the earliest and well-documented paper-cut is the five Northern Dynasty Tuan flower paper-cut found near the Flame Mountain in Turpan, Xinjiang. At that time, the climate in Northwest China was dry and rainy, and the paper was not easy to mildew. Xiaobian guessed that this might also be an important reason for the discovery of Northern Dynasty paper cutting in Xinjiang.

4、到了唐代，剪纸已经有了大发展，那时候的人将剪纸图案应用于其他工艺方面，并且还有利用剪纸招魂的风俗流行。在现代考古挖掘出多种唐代剪纸工艺品，如现藏于大英博物馆的唐代剪纸，即可看出当时的剪纸手工艺术水平已相当高超，画面构图完整，表达出一种天上人间的理想境界。

4. By the Tang Dynasty, paper-cut had developed greatly. At that time, people applied paper-cut patterns to other crafts, and the custom of using paper-cut to summon souls was popular. A variety of paper-cut crafts of the Tang Dynasty have been excavated in modern archaeology, such as the paper-cut of the Tang Dynasty now stored in the British Museum. It can be seen that the paper-cut handicraft art level at that time was quite superb, the picture composition was complete, and expressed an ideal realm of heaven and earth.

5、到了宋代，造纸业成熟，使得剪纸艺术越发普及。宋代剪纸用于各种领域之中，并且在南宋时期，还出现了以此为职业的艺人。那时候皮影戏盛行，也有用厚纸制作皮影造型的。宋代剪纸最大的创造便是瓷器剪纸印花图案，它是在施釉之时，贴上剪纸，入窑烧制而成的。

5. In the Song Dynasty, the paper industry was mature, which made the paper-cut art more and more popular. Paper cutting was used in various fields in the Song Dynasty, and artists who took it as their profession also appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, shadow play was popular, and thick paper was also used to make shadow play shapes. The greatest creation of paper-cut in the Song Dynasty was the paper-cut printing pattern of porcelain. It was pasted with paper-cut and fired in the kiln when glazing.

6、到了明清时代，民间剪纸艺术越发成熟，已经走向鼎盛时期。这时候的民间剪纸艺术运用范围就更加广阔了。但凡民间彩灯上的花饰、扇面上的纹饰、以及刺绣的花样等，无一不是利用剪纸作为装饰再加工而成的。然而在明清时期的中国传统文化剪纸，更多的是常常用作家居装饰，美化家居环境。

 6. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, folk paper-cut art became more and more mature and had reached its peak. At this time, the application scope of folk paper-cut art is even broader. However, all the flower decorations on folk lanterns, patterns on fans, and embroidery patterns are reprocessed with paper-cut as decoration. However, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Chinese traditional culture paper-cut is often used as home decoration to beautify the home environment.
