Technology of Liang Ping's New Year Pictures
Liangping New Year Pictures are watermark color-matching woodcuts, which are quite different from other color-matching New Year Pictures. Generally, the color matching New Year pictures use woodcut overprint lines, and the colors of the pictures are almost all hand-painted (such as Mianzhu New Year pictures in Sichuan, etc.). ) In addition to overprinting lines, Liang Ping's New Year pictures are hardly hand-painted, but are overprinted layer by layer with line boards and color swatches. This is very close to the modern industrialized printing structure. More importantly, after many investigations and studies by sichuan fine arts institute printmakers, it is considered that the New Year pictures printed by this method are more colorful and the artistic effect is almost unparalleled, which is very rare in New Year pictures and printmaking.

In short, they are rooted in the people, so it is no wonder that there is a proverb in the local countryside:

Its composition is full and concise, the characters are exaggerated and deformed, the color contrast is strong, the motion and static are handled properly, and the shape is simple and rough, which makes people unforgettable. After the painter finished painting the manuscript, the sculptor pounded it with sticky rice, completely pasted it on the smooth pear board, carefully carved the main outline according to the manuscript, and then carved it into various color boards according to the line board. The lines are even, clear, straight and full of tension.
