Als Neujahrsbilder werden in lokalen Manufakturen hergestellte Bilder bezeichnet, die w hrend des chinesischen Neujahrs innerhalb und ausserhalb der Wohnungen angebracht werden. Unter dem Begriff Neujahrsbilder fallen alle zu diesem Zweck hergestellten Kunstwerke, die das Leben auf dem Land und in den St dten darstellen und von volkstümlichen Künstlern geschaffen oder in lokalen Manufakturen geschnitzt oder gemalt wurden.

Ethnic architecture is mainly influenced by such factors as climate, environment,folk-customs, culture and history.

The structures are not only places for people to live, but also places for them to hold cultural activities. The architecture reflects the social concepts and aesthetic notions of the ethnic groups and due to its attention to ethic and conformity to rites and music it also expresses the national culture.

The creators of Chinese folk art come from the working class masses of China's rural areas. They are mostly female laborers. A communal art, folk art would engender all of Chinese literature and all later art. Its presence is evident in everyday food, clothing, shelter and transportation; in traditional festivals, ceremonies and rituals, and in beliefs and taboos. As a living example of cultural heritage, it shows the continuity of Chinese culture from primitive society to present, a culture that bears distinct national and geographical characteristics. With this heritage, Chinese culture boasts the longest history and the richest historical sources, and of all cultures, considers itself the most widely shared and the most geographically distinct. Its cultural implication and art form accumulate a historical culture of 7,000-8,000 years dating back to primitive society.
The art of clay figure modeling in China boasts a long history that dates back to the Neolithic Age (about 4,000 to 10,000 years B.E). For instance, some pottery pigs and sheep have been discovered at the 6,000 to 7,000-year-old Hemudu site in Zhejiang Province. And the life-size terra cotta warriors and horses unearthed in 1974 from the mausoleum of the First Emperor (259-210 BC) of the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC) have been referred to as the "Eighth Wonder of the Ancient World." In fact, archaeologists have excavated a great number of pottery figurines, animals, chariots, and boats from the tombs of the following Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220). Naturally, the funeral custom of burying figurines and objects with the dead gave impetus to the development of clay sculpture at that time.
