Twenty years ago I chose New Year
paintings, the most important branch of Chinese folk art, as the
subject of my master's degree thesis. At that time, my tutor Mr.
Wang Shucun told me, "Among all Chinese folk art, New Year
paintings are the richest, most artistically expressive and
visuall7 appealing. In New Year paintings, stories are told, plots
are designed, characters are depicted, painting strokes are used,
composition and color matching are stressed, and "rhymes'are
adopted for portraying the characters, describing sceneries, colors
and meanings." Since then my personal interest and my research in
New Yearpaintings has continued to grow.
