Fushan paper-cut belongs to the northern genre, and the main categories of paper-cut are: window grilles, wedding flowers, fireworks, snuff, embroidery patterns and so on. Its basic characteristics are rough, simple and decorative. Paper-cutting artists use paper-cutting, carving knives and hand-tearing to create original works. The main manifestations are: multi-point perspective, simple pendulum and plane, and the method of dealing with objects is that the distance is small, in order to prevent objects from being blocked. It is a major feature of Fukuyama paper-cutting, and it is also a common technique used by artists in paper-cutting.

Symmetrical folding paper-cutting occupies a large proportion in Fushan paper-cutting, and it is also a unique artistic style of local paper-cutting. According to the custom of paper-cutting, a girl should be married with a washbasin and a tea set, and these dowries should be covered with paper-cutting patterns, requiring pairs. Artists use folding to make the pattern symmetrical, which means the combination of men and women. Common patterns are: paired auspicious patterns such as lotus, utensils, pomegranate, purse, hydrangea, mandarin duck, peony, lion, unicorn and dragon and phoenix.

Another feature of Fushan paper-cut is its rich imagination and bold and exaggerated expression. A picture of "mice stealing oil" seen in Fushan Oriental Art Museum is a typical representative. This work is based on fables, with vivid image, rigorous composition and exaggerated performance, showing the special style of Fushan paper-cutting.
