The Art of Paper
Chen Zijiang is a paper cutting expert whom I interviewed for my article on Chinese Art. Paper-cutting is something that he learned to do from an early age.
"It is a Chinese folk art with a long history," Mr. Chen told me, "Paper cuts of animals have been found in tombs. " He added that by the Southern Song Dynasty, paper-cutting had become an important part of everyday life.
They are paper cuts for decoration, for religious purposes (宗教目的) and for design patterns.
Paper cuts for decoration are often seen, on windows and gates. They are also used on presents. A present for parents whose child has recently been born might show a paper cut of children, for example. Paper cuts which show the Chinese character for double happiness are often used to celebrate weddings.
Paper cuts for religious purposes are often found in temples
The third kind of paper cuts are these used to make patterns on clothing. They are also sometimes used to decorate jewelry (珠宝) boxes. .
A. They are usually put up during holidays to bring good luck. B. They are also used as offerings to the dead. C. Dragons are very popular patterns for these designs. D. They can date back to the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasty. E. Mr. Chen went on to explain that there are three types of paper cuts which people still make today. |

Many people think dreams are full of messages that may not be clear to us common people. But if we think about what is going on in our lives, we can usually come up with an answer. Let's look at some of the most common dreams. What are the meanings of these dreams?
Falling
You're falling, falling, falling… and then you wake up. This dream is said to mean you are in fear of something or worried about something. There may be something in your life that is out of control and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Another explanation is that you may experience failure in something. Maybe you're not doing well in school or work.
Taking an exam (or forgetting that you have one)
You suddenly realize you have to take an exam at that very moment. You might be running here and there to find your classroom. Scientists say this dream may mean you're being tested about something or maybe you are facing a challenge.
Flying
Dreaming that you are flying means you are on top of things. You are in control of the things that matter to you. It may also mean you have confidence in yourself and think no one and nothing can beat you.
Trying to run, but going nowhere
You're trying to run, but either of your legs won't move or you simply aren't going anywhere. Some scientists think this dream means you're trying to do too many things at once and can't catch up or move forward.
In fact, unlike these dreams, there are also many strange dreams that scientists may not be able to explain.
