Colorful Chinese Papercuts From Shanxi Province.
**
**
The originals of these Chinese Papercuts are about 35cms x 25cms, too large to scan so only sections are shown. The Chinese paper cuts were distributed by the China National Tourism Administration in the form of a special twelve picture calendar for the year 1999. The work of cutting and mounting all the Chinese Paper cuts was carried out by farmers in the Shanxi Province of China. The Chinese Chop is a title for the subject.

On a visit to a Farmer's Market near the Temple of Heaven we saw this bearded man who had arrived on a bike almost as old as his 87 years. Adding his image to the pictures of old people in Beijing was no problem, but he requested that copies be sent to him. It was difficult to assess his true age, not that it mattered, for old people of whatever age are well respected in China. |
