谁有年画 外文资料

New Year picture (Chinese: 年画), is an important and popular graphic 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).
