Happy Lunar New year!

In the 1990s, non-political nianhua in the traditional style once again have been produced. The San Xing, the gods of happiness (Tian Guan, the 'Heavenly Official'), emolument (represented by Zhou Wen Wang) and longevity (in the archetypical form of the bald-headed Shou Gong), looking young and vigorous, holding their various symbols of rank, dominate the top half of the picture. The He-He twins, symbolizing good fortune, marital harmony and wealth, hold up a copper pot adorned with the characters facai, becoming rich. The attention of the spectator is drawn to the contents of this copper pot, which is located conveniently in the centre of the print: stacks of 50 and 100 yuan RMB bills, and a sizable stack of American $100 bills.
