Students learn the art of paper-cutting in Baotou, Inner Mongolia autonomous region. Paper-cutting is one of the most important folk arts in China, with a history that can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24) when Cai Lun invented paper. Baotou has been popularizing the art of paper-cutting by introducing related courses to schools in the city since 2014. [Photo/bt.wenming.cn]
