Abstract

With the marketization of light and handicraft industries in Shanghai, Shanghai style paper-cut has bordered on the extinction. In 2007, the "Shanghai style paper cutting" was officially included in the municipal intangible cultural heritage list; in 2008, it was included in the national intangible cultural heritage supplement list. In 2009, together with the other thirteen provinces and cities of China, Shanghai style paper cutting was included in the world intangible cultural heritage list by UNESCO by the name of "Chinese paper-cut". Under the background of protecting and developing the intangible cultural heritage, this paper introduces the unique characteristics of Shanghai style paper cutting from two aspects: the influence of Shanghai style culture and the uniqueness of Shanghai style paper cutting, and emphasizes that Shanghai style paper cutting has special protection value and development significance in the inheritance process.
