Features: Mianzhu New Year Painting is the crystallization of the diligence and wisdom of generations of folk artists, reflecting the optimistic and upward spirit of the Ba-Shu people and the ancient national customs. Like New Year paintings from other regions in China, it has gone through the stages of germination, formation, development, prosperity, and innovation. With its exaggerated forms, rough lines, and vibrant colors, Mianzhu New Year Painting is as spicy and lively as Sichuan cuisine or Sichuan opera, earning the love of the masses. However, we see that today's common people are gradually valuing the illustrations printed by large machines as fashion, while the ancient folk customs are becoming a distant past. The burden on our shoulders is heavy. History has left it to us, and there is always a reason behind it. Through the scientific summary of folk art, we have become more aware that while absorbing folk art, we must not lose its most essential elements. Today, we should even more strongly overcome the limitations of regional narrow-mindedness and the small world of ethnicity to explore the common artistic truth of humanity.
