What does paper-cutting mean?

Art developed on the basis of paper-cutting art.

Use paper to cut or carve images and backgrounds such as objects, depict colors, and learn from the experience of assembling joints in shadow play to make paper dolls with flat joints.

The environmental space is composed of painted paper ceiling and foreground and background scenes pasted on glass plates, which are separated by a certain distance and distributed in layers.

When shooting, put the paper couple on the glass plate, shoot the decomposed action frame by frame, and form a moving image through continuous projection.

China's first film was 1958' s "Piglets Eat Watermelon".

Later films were more diverse in artistic style.
