New Year picture
A New Year picture (Chinese: 年画), is an important and popular Banhua in China. Its
original form was a picture of a door god fashioned during the Qin Dynasty. Later, more
subjects, such as conventions, carnivals, the Kitchen God, women and babies were included.
Customarily, as each Chinese New Year arrives, every family modifies its New Year picture in
order to "say goodbye to the Past and welcome the Future" (Chinese: 辞旧迎新).
