Abstract
New Year paintings, or nianhua, created in Liangping with the use of the technique of woodblock printing, represent folk art that weaves together distinct local features, aesthetic perception and technical mastery of the artists. One of the key nianhua themes is the imagery of “Men Shen”, or door gods, that banish the evil and guard doors and gates. The article discusses the imagery of door gods in Liangping nianhua printed from woodblocks.
