In the western part of China ,there is a kind of woodcut called“ Jiama”. Jiama originated in the Tang Dynasty and was originally presented in the form of paper, so it was also called "paper horse".
 
 
Jiama is mainly spread in western Yunnan, and is closely related to the lives of local people. The content of its sculpture is rich in themes, such as birds and beasts, natural mountains and rivers, traffic and buildings, and the aesthetic value is very high. Jiama is also widely used in the production and life of local residents, which can not only be used in folk activities such as ancestor worship, exorcism, and disease treatment, but also in every festival celebration, you can find related elements.
