Have you heard about paper cutting? Paper cutting is an important art form in China. Paper cuttings are used for many purposes, and everything can become the theme(主题) of paper cuttings, from people to the things that can be found in everyday life such as birds, flowers and animals.

Each paper cutting brings out the personal ideas of the author(作者). People express traditional culture or their own feelings with different styles of paper cuttings. For example, when someone marries, we put up some red paper cuttings on the wall, dressing table or other furniture to express our best wishes.

It is easy to learn paper cutting but very difficult to make it perfect. We need a long­time practice to learn how to use the scissors and how to paint. More­over, we need to learn some cutting skills.

At present, in many parts of China, paper cutting skill has become a must for women and a symbol of a clever mind.

The Spring Festival is coming soon! Will you try making some paper cuttings(剪纸)? Paper cutting is one of the traditional folk arts(民间艺术) in China. It has a long history of more than 1500 years. People always use paper, scissors and knives to make paper cuttings.

It's difficult to tell when it started. People found paper cuts of animals in tombs(墓) in the Northern and Southern Dynasty(南北朝). By the Southern Song Dynasty, paper cutting had become an important part of everyday life. At that time, a young man would look at a young woman's paper-cutting skills before marrying her.

Paper cuttings are mostly used for decoration(装饰). In China, it is common to see paper cuttings on walls, windows, doors and mirrors during holidays. People make them to show their joy or their wishes for good luck and health. People also use paper cuttings as design patterns on clothing. They make the clothes look special and different. What’s more, paper cuttings are made to be great gifts for friends and love ones.

It is easy to learn paper cutting but very difficult to make it perfect. We need to learn how to use the scissors and the engraving knife. Moreover, we need a lot of practice to learn paper-cutting skills.

A funny thing is that, in many parts of China nowadays, paper-cuttings skills are still a must for women because people think they are a symbol of a clever mind.

When you have an idea, you draw it on paper, bring it to a store and see it turned into an object(物品) , what do you think? This is now possible with the help of 3D printers. Such ma-chines were once used just by universities(大学) and big companies, but now, stores with 3D printing services(服务)are appearing around the United States.

Bryan Jaycox and his wife opened The Build Shop LLC in Los Angeles two years ago. The Jaycoxs offer 3D printing classes and services for anyone who is interested.

"I think 3D printing is going to be huge. It's going to have a huge influence(影响) on society as a whole. " Says KiChong .Tran, one of the students in a recent class. He plans to open a 3D printing business in Cambodia(柬埔寨):

3D printing services are coming into American people's life. The UPS Store is a nationwide retailer(零售商)that provides copying and other services. The UPS Store recently put 3D printers in three of its independently-owned stores. Burke Jones owns one of the stores in San Diego.

"The need has been amazing. There has been a lot of interest from people. It's been much more than I would have thought of."

The UPS Store plans to add 3D printers in three more stores.

For $ 11, someone used a 3D printer to produce two small plastic(塑料) parts as part of a knuckle(指节)for a hand. He works for the company which is testing prosthesis(假肢). He says the same-day or next-day printing services will speed up testing of parts and get them to patients faster.

Staples, an American store, are selling 3D printers on its website for as low as about $ 1.300. As with any technology-experts expect the printing speed to increase and the price to go down.

Bryan Jaycox asks for $ 15 an hour to print an object. He also sets the price depending on the size of the object and up to $50 an hour for design and labor services.

Mr. Jaycox thinks that within five years, 3D printing technology(技术) could become more userfriendly. But KiChong Tran says even today's technology can make a difference in a developing country like Cambodia.

With 3D printing you can give them tools(工具) , so they are responsible(负责) more for　their own development and they learn skills(技能)beyond just like learning English and becoming a tour guide or something like that. You can actually create things that give value to　the world. "

He says it's not just Cambodia but anywhere where there is a 3D printer, it can turn a good idea into reality.

One of China’s most traditional arts is paper-cutting. It started in the 6th century. Papercuttings were first used in the funeral (葬礼).

Today, papercuttings are mostly used as decoration. They are used to decorate walls, windows and doors in houses and also used for decoration on presents or are given as presents themselves.

They have special meanings at festivals and on holidays. During the Spring Festival for example, entrances (入口) are decorated with papercuttings which are pupposed to bring good luck.

Papercuttings are not produced by machine (机器), but by hand. There are two general ways in making papercutting: scissor (剪刀) cuttings and knife (小刀) cuttings. As the name indicates, the motif (图案) is usually cut with sharp, pointed scissors or a sharp knife. The advantage of knife cuttings is that more papercutting can be made at one time than with scissors.

In the countryside, papercuttings are usually made by women and girls. This used to be one of the skills that every girl is expected to learn and that were often used to judge brides (新娘).
