Nantong's New Year woodblock paintings are rooted in the traditions of agrarian societies and reflect the vast and inclusive Jianghai Culture.

They possess a strong visual artistic style and regional cultural characteristics and are usually used to decorate houses. These paintings are influenced by the New Year paintings in Suzhou but have a more rustic style.

Yang Hongwei, a practitioner of this intangible cultural heritage, guides you through a detailed exploration of this art form in this video.
