Rural female laborers are among the main creators of Chinese folk art, especially in categories such as paper-cut. In my observation of their entire process of creative art, they were indeed expressing their understanding of the universe through art works, using a language from the original mode of philosophical symbols. That is a common nature of all communal art. The individuality of their art work lies in the variance of the symbols and codes related with their national identity and geographical region; their emotional temperament and the cultural attainment of the creator, and the art form and language they choose. Folk art is a kind of personalized art. The common nature of folk art is displayed through individual art works.
