The Xu family, in 2005, finally completed the first New Year picture with wooden boards printed by traditional techniques, which is one of the "Eight Beautiful Pictures" series of New Year pictures handed down by Xu Zu. "Now it seems that the painting is still a little rough, but I was still happy and busy, because I finally learned the craftsmanship of my ancestors." The Xu family was a big producer of Liang Ping's New Year pictures. As early as 1776, they created the name "Reliance" New Year Pictures. 19 is the most brilliant historical period of his New Year pictures at the turn of the 20th century. Xu's ancestors have successively created many of Liang Ping's most influential New Year pictures, such as De Hetai, He Shengyou and Li Xin Hao. At that time, in the heyday of Detai, there were more than 100 sculptors, brushes, painters and handymen in the workshop. Not only do you have to make thousands of pictures a day, but you also have to outsource the processing of New Year pictures. During the peak season, Chongqing and eastern Xia Chuan will invite one or twenty porters to sell New Year pictures. By the 1960s, when Xu Jiahui was born, the production of Liang Ping's New Year pictures had stopped, and most of the original New Year pictures at home were made of firewood. "Only my four mussels (Liangping dialect, the fourth brother of Grandpa Xu Jiahui, the fifth generation descendant of Liangping New Year pictures) know something. Although I only have primary school culture, I like New Year pictures since I was a child, so I pestered' Four mussels' to teach me and started him. Before his death in 2004, Xu Dianlong left a meat cleaver, a set of woodcuts, a scroll and a "Dehetai" seal handed down by his family to Xujiahui.
