　　剪窗花：Cut window flower

　　在民間人們還喜歡在窗戶上貼上各種剪紙——窗花。窗花不僅烘托了喜慶的節(jié)日氣氛，也集裝飾性、欣賞性和實(shí)用性于一體。在貼春聯(lián)的同時(shí)，一些人家要在屋門上、墻壁上、門楣上貼上大大小小的“福”字。春節(jié)貼“福”字，是中國(guó)民間由來(lái)已久的風(fēng)俗。“福”字指福氣、福運(yùn)，寄托了人們對(duì)幸福生活的向往，對(duì)美好未來(lái)的祝愿。有的人干脆將“福”字倒過(guò)來(lái)貼，表示“幸福已到”、“福氣已倒(到)”。其實(shí)福字不能倒貼，特別大門，是迎福納福的地方，福字應(yīng)該正貼。民間還有將“福”字精描細(xì)做成各種圖案的，圖案有壽星、壽桃、鯉魚(yú)跳龍門、五谷豐登、龍鳳呈祥等。

　　In the folk people also like to paste various paper-cuts on the windows - window flowers. Window decoration not only sets off the festive atmosphere, but also integrates decoration, appreciation and practicability. While pasting Spring Festival couplets, some families have to paste the word "happiness" on their doors, walls and lintels. Spring Festival sticking the word "Fu" is a long-standing folk custom in China. The word "luck" refers to luck and good luck. It expresses people's yearning for a happy life and wishes for a better future. Some people simply put the word "happiness" upside down to indicate that "happiness has arrived" and "happiness has fallen (arrived)". In fact, the word "Fu" can not be pasted upside down, especially at the gate, where the word "Fu" should be pasted correctly. Folk people also have the word "Fu" carefully drawn into various patterns, such as longevity star, longevity peach, carp leaping Longmen, Wugu Fengdeng, Longfeng Chengxiang and so on.
