【美文阅读】　 剪纸俗称“窗花”，是我国最普及的民间艺术之一。有着全面，美化，吉祥的表现特征。让我们了解一下其悠久的历史和象征意义吧！ Paper-cutting is a very special visual art of Chinese handicrafts.One saying is that it originated from the religious ceremony of offerings.The ancient people cut papers into animals or people.They either buried them with the dead or burned them on the funerals，wishing that things that paper stands for could be with the dead.After hundreds of years development，now they have become a very popular means of decoration among country folk，especially women. It is easy to learn about cutting a piece of paper but very difficult to master it with perfection.Beginners need only a knife and paper.For craftsman，they need knives and gravers of various types to make complicated(复杂的)patterns.For complicated patterns，people first pasted the pattern on the paper and then used various kinds of knives to make it.No mistake can be made during the process otherwise the work would fail. Paper-cutting covers nearly all topics，from flowers，birds，animals，legendary people，figures in classic no- vels，to types of facial make-up in Beijing Opera.Paper-cutting has various styles in different parts of China. In the past，women living in the countryside gathered in their free time to make paper-cutting，which is a way to judge their skillfulness.As society develops，fewer and fewer still regard it as a profession.At present，there are factories and associations for paper-cutting in China.Exhibitions and exchanges are held regularly and books of this kind are published.Paper-cutting has changed from decoration to a kind of art.At the same time，paper-cutting also appears in cartoons，on stage，in magazines or in TV series. 【诱思导学】　 1．Why did ancient people burn paper animals or people on the funerals? __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ 2．If a mistake is made during the paper-cutting，what should the craftman do? ______________________
