Shaanxi artisan crafts stunning paper-cutting hanfu

In the skilled hands of Pu Yao, a Shaanxi artisan, a 3-meter-long paper-cutting hanfu adorned with cloud motifs and featuring a phoenix is taking shape.

Before her lies an expansive garment, entirely crafted through traditional paper-cutting techniques. With her scissors in hand, Pu deftly works between the sheets, and soon, an intricately designed hanfu begins to emerge.
