為什麼這些剪紙作品,好像不是紅的就是金的。
It seems that only red and golden papers are used for paper cutting.
這是因為華人的剪紙,主要是用在節日慶典上,所以用紅色、金色增添喜氣。
That is because paper cuttings are used mainly for festival celebration, so red and gold are used because they add an atmosphere of joy.紅色的喜字、壽字,看起來就喜氣洋洋的。
When we see the red characters for happiness and longevity, we feel cheerful and joyful.
