There are four major procedures to making the Yuxian paper­cut: First, sketch the pattern on the draft paper; second, fasten the draft to the paper to be cut; third, use a knife to carve out the pattern; and fourth, dye (染色) the paper­cut with various colors.

　　Precise cutting skills are needed to make a piece of the Yuxian paper­cut, which highlights the craft maker's artistic taste and dyeing skills. That explains the following saying: “The successful making of a Yuxian paper­cut is 30 percent dependent on the maker's cutting skills, and 70 percent on the maker's dyeing skills.”

　　The traditional Yuxian paper­cut highlights two themes: Flowers and characters in Chinese operas. The paper­cut is particularly known for its vivid description of characters in various traditional Chinese operas. In October 2009, the art of Yuxian's paper­cut was added to the list of intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产) established by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization)．
