People celebrate it with lanterns and streamers, no matter where they live, in the countryside or in the city. New Year pictures are an indispensable part of this celebration for each and every household. People put up New Year pictures in their homes to enhance the lively festive atmosphere.

Most New Year pictures feature designs symbolizing good fortune, auspiciousness and festivity. A popular New Year picture entitled Surplus in Successive Years depicts a cute plump baby holding a big carp in his arms and a bouquet of lotus flowers in his hand. "Fish" and "surplus" in Chinese have the same pronunciation (yu). Through the homophony of the two words, peopleexpress their wishes for affluent lives.

China is a country of vast territory, so the styles of New Year pictures vary from north to south. The northern New Year pictures are best represented by those produced in Yangliuqing in Tianjin Municipality, while in the south there are those from Taohuawu in Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province。
