The traditional art of Zherong paper-cutting has been reimagined with Hanfu elements, uniting two ancient Chinese art forms in Xuelingwei village, Fujian province.

Originating during the Tang Dynasty (618-907), Zherong paper-cutting is known for its rugged beauty with delicate elegance. Recognized as part of China's traditional paper-cutting, it was inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2009.
