剪纸是中国最普及的民间传统装饰艺术之一。

洛宁县民间自古就有剪贴窗花、墙花、灯花、床花、喜花、寿花等习俗。“喜庆乔迁要贴贴剪剪，丧葬制幡也要折纸动剪”。洛宁剪纸是原生态剪纸，具有悠久的历史和地域文化特征，是“千刀不断，万剪不落”的平面造型艺术。其剪纸技艺最早可追溯至东汉年间，王莽追刘秀的传说中已有剪纸绞样之说。其艺术形式和技艺，是洛宁妇女在长期劳动生活中创造提炼出来的，并世代传承延续。

洛宁县出现有主题性的剪纸艺术作品，是在上个世纪五十年代，由土生土长的李笑白先生率先将民风民俗形式的剪纸转向主体性创作，把窑洞窗棂上的剪纸引入了大雅之堂，并推向了一个大胆表现时代的新境界，引领了豫西乃至整个河南的剪纸创作。

目前，洛宁剪纸不但保留了传统的剪纸技法，同时广泛借鉴金石、书画、碑帖、画像石、画像砖等线条韵味浓重的手法运用于剪纸创作，使得洛宁剪纸具有更为丰富的表现力，受到广大人民群众的喜爱。

Chinese paper cutting has a long history, and the earliest art of paper cutting was born in Luoyang. It is recorded in Shi Ji(the Records of the Gand Historian) that Shu Yu, the younger brother of King Cheng of Zhou, Jisong, was conferred as the governor of the Tang state.Before his departure, king Cheng of Zhou gave him a piece of a Chinese parasol tree leaf cut in the image of Gui(an elongated pointed tablet of jade) as a gift. It shows that the paper cutting has been an auspicious omen since ancient times, representing people's expectations for beautiful things. Mengjin paper cutting,commonly called as “Jiaohua”, belongs to the western Henan style of paper cutting, and has a long history. Various materials can be used to make paper cutting, like paper, gold and silver foil, bark,leaves,cloth, fur and leather.Its modeling is plain, vivid and interesting, closely connected with the festival custom, and its color is mostly red, conveying a festive feeling. Paper cutting has been developed for thousands of years, and is rooted in the traditional Chinese culture, condensing the traditional concept of Han culture.
