Paper-cutting is one of the most popular folk arts in China. After the development of Tang, Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the art of paper-cutting has produced different tribes in various parts of China, which is rich in history and culture. The paper-cut of Yiwulu Mountain Manchu is a paper-cut form that spreads in the Manchu area of Yiwulu Mountain in Jinzhou, and its main content is the Shaman culture and Manchu customs that express the primitive natural gods, ancestral gods and reproductive worship of Manchu. Manchu paper-cutting in Yiwulu Mountain plays an important role in folk life. Such as window grilles, hanging notes, happy flowers, trees of life, sacrificial trees, coffins, etc., are indispensable cultural symbols to set off the atmosphere in festivals, weddings, sacrifices and other activities, and are also decorative embroidery patterns of daily necessities, clothing, shoes and hats.

Paper-cut works recording Manchu customs show the integration of modern farming culture in the Central Plains and mountain forest culture in Yiwulu Mountain.
