The Chinese New Year paintings depict what people have seen and heard, and wish for a bumper harvest of grain and a better life, which is a well-received art. It is mainly posted during the Chinese New Year to decorate the environment and create an atmosphere, containing the meaning of New Year’s greetings, auspiciousness and celebration.
