New Year Picture - The God of Wealth
The God of Wealth, a prominent figure in Chinese Taoism, presides over worldly wealth and is a common subject in New Year pictures.
During the Spring Festival, a tradition in Chinese folk customs involves businessmen displaying New Year pictures featuring the God of Wealth in their homes and shops, symbolising prayers for good fortune and prosperous business in the upcoming year.
This particular New Year picture is meticulously printed on antique rice paper at Heng Xing Yi New Year Picture Shop in Yangjiabu, Shandong Province, boasting a rich history of over 100 years.
Please note that the New Year pictures are not framed.
