Gaomi New Year paintings originated during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty and became popular in the Qing Dynasty. They have a history of more than 500 years. In the early Ming Dynasty, some immigrants from other places settled in Gaomi. Inspired by temple murals, they drew on traditional Chinese freehand paintings, painted on rice paper or double-layered rough paper for mounting, and sold them along the street to make a living. This was the prototype of the Ash-Putting New Year paintings. According to legend, it was later developed by the Wang family in Beixiang, Gaomi, and eventually the Gaomi Puhui New Year pictures were drafted and then hand-painted.
When making New Year pictures, artists first use wicker branches or bean stubbles to burn into gray charcoal to outline the outline of the drawing, and then use paper topology to leave the gray draft on the drawing paper. The gray draft can be "plopped" into five full-length pictures at one time. This is how the "Pushing Ashes" New Year picture got its name. Then one or more people will powder the face and hands on the printed drawing, open the eyebrows and eyes, apply color and gold by hand, and then outline the lines with a pen. Finally, apply varnish (a kind of polish mixed with alcohol and rosin) on the key parts. oil) to make it bright and eye-catching, and a complete dust-dusted New Year picture is completed. Ash-dusting New Year pictures is a production method of New Year pictures before the popularization of block printing. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, Gaomi New Year paintings were also influenced by woodblock New Year paintings. They also adopted the method of printing the outline of the painting with woodblocks and then painting it by hand, which is the so-called "half printing and half painting". Since then, different printing forms such as dusting, half printing and half painting, and woodblock overprinting have coexisted in high-density New Year paintings.
Most of the initial works of Puhui New Year paintings were statues of gods and flowers on ink screens. Influenced by temple murals and Wenru paintings, they were mainly ink and wash, and the colors were not strong. They had a simple and elegant flavor. As the saying goes, "Ink screen, ink screen, If the confession is cleared on the desk, the mother-in-law will not like it, but the old man will flatter her." This kind of work is called "Old Mo Painting". By the end of Qianlongs reign in the Qing Dynasty, more and more people were making New Year pictures in the area, and they began to set up workshops and painting shops in Lijiazhuang, Zhaojiaquan, Dujiaguanzhuang and other places. By the time of its heyday in the late Qing Dynasty, painting masters had emerged in droves, and New Year paintings had developed into a completely new look, forming a new genre - "red goods". "Red Goods" boldly draws on the use of color in Tianjin Yangliuqing paintings and Shandong Weixian New Year paintings, actively moves closer to bright red and green, uses color instead of ink, and pursues the bright and red colors of the picture, giving people a strong impression of contrast, changing the " "Lao Mo Hua Zi" is a kind of "dark" and not very gorgeous. The works are bright, prosperous, and have strong contrast, which better adapt to peoples requirements for "fresh and beautiful" New Year paintings. They are loved by most people for a while, just like The ballad says: "The red and green brushes are painted in large numbers, the market is selling well, and the dealers hang them on their walls, which is auspicious and prosperous."
Puhui New Year pictures have their own unique painting techniques. "Brush, brush, plant flowers in a row, paint wildly with big strokes, draw hooks, paint face carefully, draw eyebrows skillfully, when you want to look good, pickle pickles and knock flowers." This is a jingle that was once circulated among the people of Gaomi. It is very insightful. It clearly shows that the brushwork of the New Year paintings focuses on the "wiping" style. Among them, "big strokes and wild strokes, and strokes of hook and stroke" refer to the brushwork. The former is the embodiment of "meaning", and the latter is the portrayal of "work". When the painters made each painting, everything from clothing to hair was painted with a single color, and even the outline was painted in one stroke. The unrestrained and unrestrained style of "crazy painting with large strokes" was fully reflected. "Paizi Goula" refers to the detailed processing of local parts, which is in sharp contrast to "crazy painting with large strokes" and highlights the style characteristics of part-time writing. Writing with strong meaning and rewriting part-time is the essence of Gaomi Puhui New Year pictures.
The high-density gray New Year pictures have bright tones, clever and generous compositions, dynamic images, and bold and smooth lines. Color is used instead of ink in the painting, which is rich and colorful. Contrasting colors are used throughout the entire painting, and intermediate colors are added to the main part of the picture, which not only coordinates the contrast of colors, but also enhances the beauty of the characters. Most of the characters' facial shapes have fat cheeks and big ears, but they are plump and round without losing elegance. They have a strong festive atmosphere and are very elegant. Moreover, all character works have one or several white "pink faces". That is, when painting, the characters face is first powdered to create a white face shape, and then the eyebrows, eyes, and facial features are skillfully outlined, and then color and clear oil are applied. , making the characters look elastic, transparent and tender, giving people a strong sense of flesh, which is the unique artistic effect of the Puhui New Year pictures.
Gaomi New Year paintings mainly feature ladies, fat children, opera characters, mythological stories, landscapes, and flowers. Representative works include "Sister-in-law Gossip", "Shuttlecock Kicking", "Everything Goes As You Like", "Wealth and Peace", " "Eight Immortals Celebrating Birthday", "Cowherd and Weaver Girl", "Full Luck and Longevity", "Two Children Offering Birthday", "Beauty with a Round Fan", "Flower Screen of Four Seasons" and so on.
