The New Year pictures are one of the most popular folk handcraft arts among Chinese families. Generally, they're posted during the Spring Festival. Because they will be replaced after another New Year's arrival, hence their name is New Year pictures. The New Year picture in China is a large category of folk art, originating from the door-god pictures, which is believed to exorcise evil spirits when posted on the door of a house. At the same time, the pictures can beautify people's homes, enhance the festive atmosphere and bring happiness and joy to the family, and express their hopes for a better life.
