Free Workshop "Traditional Chinese Papercutting, JIAN ZHI", October 24, Friday at 4:00PM, Wang Center Room 201 - Confucius Institute at Stony Brook University

Join us for a “Traditional Chinese Papercutting” workshop with Ms Weiwei Zhang. China, where paper was invented, has a long history of the decorative folk art “psaligraphy” or, jianzhi, which means ‘cut paper’. Paper cuts can represent wishes for good health, good fortune and are used as decoration during the Chinese New Year and other festivals as home décor and are also used as patterns for other artwork. One of the most popular of the decorative arts, it is such an intrinsic and important part of Chinese culture that it is recognized as an “Intangible Cultural Heritage” by UNESCO in 2009.
