Chinese New
Year pictures are an important variety of Chinese folk arts and
are called so because they are prepared and decorated for the celebration
of Chinese New Year. Chinese New Year pictures mainly exhibit day-to-day
lives, fairy tales, folklores, historical stories, etc, while their
connotation is to wish for peace and luck, praise the good and repress
the bad, and suppress the evil spirit and refuse heresy, exhibiting
the spiritual pursuance of common people.
The Chinese traditional cultures are extensive and profound, being
the common spiritual fortunes of the entire mankind. We regard the
publication of the book as a contribution to the development of
human spiritual civilization and wish for the continuity of the
cause. |
