The Art of Paper Handicraft | 紙紮藝術 - Infographic Design

Paper binding is a traditional folk craft. As long as you use some simple tools and materials, you can make ever-changing handicrafts, such as lanterns, lanterns, fireworks, kites, sacrifices, and so on. Paper binding products penetrate our different areas of daily life. They are not only the main decorations of festivals but also the medium of communication between people and gods.

The paper binding craft has been passed down in Hong Kong for many years and has never been interrupted. In addition to the scented candle paper binding shop, the supply of paper binding supplies includes village masters and Taoist priests. There was a period when the lion heads and dragon heads made in Hong Kong were exported to Europe and the United States. In recent years, most of the paper tied supplies were imported from the mainland and the number of masters in the villages became less and less, but they were used in festivals and religious ceremonies. The tradition of paper tie products is still preserved.
