New Year pictures have a long history. Some Ming and Qing versions of New Year pictures have become precious cultural relics. Even the early New Year pictures in New China have certain historical value because they show the prosperous spirit of New China.

It can be regarded as a branch of Chinese traditional New Year pictures. It was born in the light years of the Qing Dynasty. At first, foreign businessmen printed western paintings, which were not recognized by China people. Later, foreign businessmen took China woodblock New Year pictures and traditional Chinese paintings to foreign countries for plate making, printed them with advanced color printing technology, and matched them with calendar cards or commodity advertisements, which was immediately welcomed by the people.
nowadays, the market price of a printed product of the month of the Republic of China is 5 ~ 2, yuan.

In today's collection market, “”? 3 yuan to 15 yuan should also be included in the reduced sample album of New Year Pictures of the period. Is it a leaflet? “”? Printed New Year pictures in the period were rare, and the price was above that in 1 yuan. Even a printed New Year picture in the 198s often needs 1 ~ 3 yuan, and the minimum is 3 ~ 5 yuan. However, the market price of a woodcut New Year picture of the same period or even the Ming and Qing Dynasties (later printed) is only ten yuan to dozens of yuan. In fact, printed matter can't be mentioned in the same breath as the original print, and their prices should be 1 times to 1 times different.

However, the printing quantity of woodcut New Year pictures is very limited. A woodcarving board can only be printed for tens of thousands at most and then it will be scrapped. Some New Year pictures are only printed for dozens. Because it is a watermark color matching, almost no two woodcut New Year pictures are the same, so it can be said that each New Year picture has only one surviving quantity. As a unique original work of art, the price of New Year pictures should be several times or even thousands of times higher than that of a large number of printed materials. In the collection market, New Year pictures are often much lower than the market price of printed materials, which shows that collectors are blind and blind.

In the special auction of Wang Shucun Collection New Year Pictures held by Guangzhou Guardian in 24, a pair of Yangliuqing Qing Dynasty door gods sold for more than 9, yuan, and a Qing Dynasty version of the Qing Dynasty unified map New Year Pictures sold for about 1, yuan. It can be seen that the auction shows that the value of New Year pictures is returning. Wang Shucun once said to me: There are fewer and fewer old-age paintings, people's living standards are getting higher and higher, and the investment atmosphere of art collection is getting more and more prosperous. Naturally, there is still a lot of room for improvement in old-age paintings. ?
8. The upsurge of collecting Chinese New Year pictures overseas has driven the domestic market higher. The rise of contemporary overseas collection of Chinese New Year pictures stems from the affluence of Chinese in Southeast Asia 3 years ago, and galleries in Taiwan Province and Singapore came to the mainland of China to collect Chinese New Year pictures of past dynasties very early.
