Paintings collected from Mianzhu

Snow temperature chamber sixty years

Wei Xuefeng, vice president of the Sichuan Museum, said that from the 1950s, the museum sent someone to Mianzhu to collect and arrange the Mianzhu New Year paintings of the North and South. For sixty years, these paintings were stored in a constant-temperature room so that their colors could be bright and bright.

“The inheritance system of New Year pictures is very delicate. Judgment of its age must be determined from many aspects such as style and printing plate.” Wei Xuefeng said that as a non-material cultural heritage, the traditional theme of New Year pictures still occupies a major part. However, there have also been many works that reflect the characteristics of the times in modern times. The reporter saw a picture of a modern Mianzhu New Year painting. There was even the content of a lady riding a bicycle. There was also a “model worker” in a woodcut painting in Suzhou.

New Year pictures are increasingly refined

The price is getting more and more expensive

Wei Xuefeng told reporters that the New Year pictures are an independent type of painting in Chinese traditional folk paintings and a mirror reflecting history, life, beliefs and customs. The Chinese New Year paintings originated from primitive religions in ancient times, formed in the Song Dynasty and continued to develop in the Qing Dynasty. The four famous New Year pictures in China are: Mianzhu New Year Pictures, Suzhou Taohuawu Wood New Year Pictures, Tianjin Yangliu Youth Paintings and Shandong Weifang Yangjiazhang New Year Pictures.

However, with the development of the times, the New Year pictures have gradually lost their role in warding off evils and eliminating evils, and have become more art and decorations. In the Mianzhu New Year painting village, after the New Year pictures were beautifully decorated, they were made into porcelain plate ornaments and embroidery. A small hand-painted Mianzhu New Year paintings cost between 10-30 yuan, and can be up to two or three hundred yuan.
