Abstract
China is a country with a long history, and the traditional Chinese art of papercutting was born out of the accumulation of history. It carries people's hope for a better life and is a way to spread Chinese culture. Because of this, if Chinese paper-cutting can be reasonably used in graphic design, it will provide designers with new ideas. In today's diversified world, it is obvious that modern Chinese graphic design is
influenced by various countries, leading to the proliferation of international visual symbols and the gradual loss of the traditional Chinese visual language. How to design works with traditional humanistic flavor and contemporary characteristics has become a new thinking for designers.
What is traditional paper-cutting? What is the significance of Chinese folk paper-cutting for graphic design? How can the colors of Chinese folk paper-cutting be applied in modern graphic design?
