CCTV News: As the Spring Festival approaches, every household must prepare a few festive New Year pictures to add a festive atmosphere. As an ancient and precious folk art in China, Yangliu Youth paintings are layered and printed, integrating the meticulousness of fine brushwork and the roughness of woodblock knives, decorating the Chinese New Year and placing a beautiful vision.

The New Year is approaching, and at the Tianjin Yangliuqing Woodblock New Year Painting Museum, Greek friends who have come from afar are experiencing the printing of the "Fu" character for Yangliuqing New Year Painting.

This painting "The Year of the Lotus Year", a doll holds a carp symbolizes the prosperity of life, and holds a lotus in your hand to symbolize the good fortune of years. "The Second A Chuanlu" contains good wishes from the title of the Golden List, and "The Eight Hundred and Thousand Abbreviations" expresses their wishes for happiness and longevity in a homophonic voice.

Yang Wen, deputy president of Tianjin Yangliuqing Painting Society, said that Yangliuqing Painting must be the Chinese people's demand for a better life, and promote the excellent traditional Chinese culture, so as to warm, touch and protect people.

In Yangliu Qingnian's paintings, the engraver uses a knife instead of a pen to add a flowing and ancient plate flavor to the painter's line draft; the overprinting technique overprints the bright and plump colors into a painting, which is vividly displayed on the paper; the painted flat pen dips on both sides while dipping them in water, sometimes twisting heavily, sometimes brushing lightly, and smudges to form the far and near virtual and real, which is interesting.

Use pen-turning technique to dye the face of the New Year painting doll, festive, cute, vivid and vivid; use the gold cover technique to lay gold powder on the green fish, so that it sparkles as if it had just come out of the water; the heavy industry technique of "pile gold and drain powder" makes the already bright New Year paintings present a magnificent beauty.

这本《杨柳青年画资料集》，是我国第一本民间年画画集，有着中国年画艺术最高水平。 Yangliuqing Painting Club recently began to recreate the old version of New Year pictures in the book, and this book "Blessings, Longevity and Peace" has taken its original form.

Wang Yan, the inheritor of Yangliuqing woodblock New Year painting painting, introduced that they read the ancient paintings and set a micro-expression for the fish, which is more agile. Chasing the ancients without sticking to the ancients, inheriting the original style and carefully changing them is their dialogue with the ancients across time and space.
