Abstract
At present, the theoretical research on Chinese folded paper-cut lags behind practice relatively. Researchers need to conduct in-depth research on the conceptual connotation and technical system structure of folded paper-cut. The techniques of folded paper-cut can be divided into three levels: basic folding and cutting methods, derived folding and cutting methods, and comprehensive folding and cutting methods, including five categories and sixteen specific folding and cutting methods, each with a variety of folding and cutting forms. The techniques at the three levels increase in difficulty from low to high and are interconnected with each other, thus forming a complete technical system of folded paper-cut.
Keywords:
