The objectives of this research were: 1). To analyze the research instruments with the young and elderly people's perceptions of their intangible cultural heritage assets, cultural paper-making materials toward their archaeological ancient heritage assets, and their paper-cutting art material heritage at Zhangpu Communities in Fujian Province of the PR China. 2). To compare young and elderly people's perceptions of their intangible cultural heritage assets, cultural paper-making materials toward their archaeological ancient heritage assets, and their paper-cutting art material heritage attitudes at Zhangpu Communities in Fujian Province of the PRC. 3).

The research results were found as follows; 1. Most of the four research instruments are valid and reliable. 2. Comparisons between young and elderly people's perceptions of their intangible cultural heritage assets, cultural paper-making materials toward their archaeological ancient heritage assets, and their paper-cutting art material heritage attitudes are differentiated significantly (p<.05) between two groups for the 12-scale, 6-scale for the QMHAI. 3.
