Chaoyang paper cutting, together with Chaoyang Song and Dance, and Chaoyang Flute Music in Guangdong, are praised as "Three Treasures of Chaoyang Folk Art", whose rise and development are closely related to people's lives. 

广东潮阳剪纸与潮阳英歌舞、潮阳笛套音乐并称“潮阳民间艺术三瑰宝”，其兴起、发展与人们的生活密不可分。

In Chaoyang, no matter in urban or rural areas, paper cuttings are used to decorate gifts, often showing auspicious themes and a wide range of topics including flowers, birds, insects, fish and folk tales during traditional festivals, birthdays, marriages and weddings. 

潮阳地区不论城市乡村，每逢传统节日、寿辰、婚姻嫁娶，都用剪纸贴饰在礼品上，多表现吉祥喜庆等祥瑞题材，也有表花鸟虫鱼、民间传说等内容。

In the process of development, Chaoyang paper cutting has flourished and remained silent several times, but the ecological chain of its inheritance has never been broken, and it glows with new artistic charm in the innovative practice of its many inheritors.

在发展过程中，潮阳剪纸也曾几度兴盛又几度静寂，然其传承的生态链条却从未断裂，在众多传承人的创新实践中焕发出新的艺术魅力。
