Woodblock prints during the Chinese New Year are one of the most popular forms of artwork among Chinese families. The tradition originated with the paintings of ancient doorkeepers, and is believed to repel evil when posted on the door of a home. At the same time, the painting can decorate the house, bringing happiness and joy to the family.
