culture.• Because the cut outs are always used to decorate doors and windows,

they are sometimes referred to "chuāng huā" (窗花 ), meaning Window Flower. People glued the art on the exterior of the windows and the light can go through the negative space of the cutout. The artist most often use red paper to make artwork, but they also use colored-paper to collage.
