As a traditional folk art form with good wishes, New Year paintings have become a very important part of the folk art category of the mainland's intangible cultural heritage. These paintings reflect the daily life of farmers, major events in society, and the traditional way of celebrating the New Year. The works on display this time are presented in three sections: Spring Color, Joyful Songs of the Times, and Prosperous Year, and are displayed synchronously on the digital platform of Shanghai Municipal Museum of Art "Audio Vision" to continue the festive atmosphere. Curator Wang Nanming made an overall layout inside and outside the exhibition hall, from the main visual poster to the main visual sculpture of the New Year and the three-dimensional screen of the Year of the Tiger, creating a strong festive cultural atmosphere.
