Chinese people have the custom of sticking up New Year pictures to celebrate the traditional New Year. This can be traced in the historical records of the Song Dynasty. The custom is particularly popular in the vast countryside. Upon the coming of the New Year, every household will be busy pasting colorful New Year pictures or paper-cuts on their doors, windows and walls. Traditional New Year pictures are characterized by scenes of prosperity depicted in simple, clear lines and brilliant colors. The themes expressed in New Year pictures cover a wide range, but the messages all pictures convey are always good luck, festival atmosphere or other nice things in the wish of the people.
