Wei County papercuts from Hebei Province have a history of more than 200 years. The papercuts are dyed and therefore more colorful. They feature themes of opera figures, legendary stories, harvesting, auspicious animals, happiness, and longevity.

Fengning County is hidden in the depths of the Yanshan Mountains in northern Hebei Province. The papercuts in Fengning originated in theQing Dynasty(1644-1911), mainly featuring auspicious patterns, flowers and birds, landscapes, human figures, and daily utensils.
