Protect traditional Chinese culture plays a very important role in the diversity and inheritance of Chinese culture.
We are delighted to find that traditional crafts like paper cutting has been protected and inherited, or else we would lose such great treasure soon. It is the same valuable Chinese teachings like Confucianism.

In a word, it is high time for ourselves to treasure and develop our own valuable culture.
