Archaeological(考古学的) findings show that the tradition started in the 6th century;it is even supposed that the beginning of paper cutting is even a few centuries earlier.Paper cuts have special importance at festivals and on holidays. To get rid of the old and bring good luck, people put up paper cuts on the windows on the Eve of the Spring Festival.Paper cuts are not produced by machine, but by hand. They are done all over China, but are different in the method in different areas. There are two methods of making paper cuts-by using scissors of knives. As the name suggests, scissors cuttings are made with scissors. Several pieces of paper (up to eight pieces) are placed together. The patterns are then cut with pointed scissors. Knife cuttings are made by putting several pieces of paper on a table. Following a pattern, the artist cuts the patterns into the paper with a knife.In the past, paper cuts are usually made only by women and girls. They use scissors and paper to cut all kinds of pictures such as apple trees, peach flowers , mice, fighting roosters and rabbits eating carrots.This used to be one of the skills that every girl was to master.

A man from the store helped deliver it . Today, in Venice, I watched a family bring a new television set to their house. They had bought it on the mainland. Then they borrowed a narrow rowboat to bring them and their new TV set back home. When they got to the entrance of the narrow canal where they lived, the family had to carry the TV set down the walkway to their house. People dont choose to live in this city because it is modern or convenient. They live here because of its unusual beauty. The network of canals and sidewalks is plex and the water carries noises from a long distance.But around every corner is a wonderful surprise:an ancient sculpture, an old church or a designers clothing shop in which you can spend a few hours. Cars dont exist here. People travel mostly by gondola(平底舟) and vaporetto, a water bus. The gondolas serve as taxis. The first time I rode in a gondola, I was nervous, but only for a few minutes. The friendly driver sang and joked with us as our gondola traveled through the crowded canal. I have also ridden on a vaporetto. It is faster and more efficient, but it is not nearly as romantic as a gondola! Vaportettos travel from station to station, just like regular city buses. When you get off the water bus, you walk-and walk, and walk! There are narrow pathways and hundreds of bridges.Venice was built on 118 islands more than 1,000 years ago. The first people made their living by fishing. Over the centuries, it has grown into this jewel of Italy.32. To show the difference between Venice and other cities, the author_.
