The creation of Jinshan peasant painting is an amateur cultural activity of the local farmers, with most of the authors being rural women skilled in embroidery and weaving. They skillfully incorporate the characteristics of ancient arts such as paper-cutting, embroidery, and kitchen wall paintings into their artistic creations. They also transform their familiar life fragments and abundant imagination into beautiful compositions. In these unique artistic expressions, there is a strong sense of the fresh and fragrant earthy charm of the water, as well as the deep love of the authors for life.
