B[2015·兰州一中期中]It is commonly belie v ed that the earliest Chinese paper-cuts appeared during the sixth century.S Some scholars believe it was even earlier. 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, Li Shaoweng, cut a piece of hemp paper in the shape of P1Madame Li. When evening fell, the emperor's servants lit candles in his bedroom; the reflection W1of that paper-cut on the wall made the emperor think about his beloved concubine.The Yuxian paper-cut is different from P2most paper-cuts produced in other regions of China. Paper-cuts from other regions are mostly cut-with scissors or knives-from single-colored paper, such as red or black paper.There are four major procedures to making the Yuxian paper-cut: First, sketch the pattern on the draft paper; 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 W2 the craft maker's artistic taste and dyeing skills. That explains the following saying: “The successful making of a Yuxian paper-cut is 30 percent dependent W3on the maker's cutting skills, and 70 percent on the maker's dyeing skills.”The traditional Yuxian paper-cut highlights two themes: Flowers and characters in Chinese operas. The paper-cut is particularly W4known for its vivid description of characters in various traditional Chinese operas. In October 2009, the art of Yuxian's paper-cut was added to the list of intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产) established W5by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization)．本文讲述的是中国传统文化——剪纸艺术的历史以及蔚县剪纸的特点。
