More than 20 international students from Zibo Vocational Institute recently visited the Qiling No 1 Middle School in Linzi district, Zibo city to learn about paper-cutting and Qi culture.

Paper-cutting, an intangible cultural heritage, involves the creation of designs using nothing more than a pair of scissors and a piece of paper. During the activity, students got to appreciate paper-cutting artworks that portray eight famous tourist attractions in Zibo. They also tried their hands at the handicraft under the guidance of Sun Shuying, an inheritor of paper-cutting.
