History and art come together in this definitive discussion of the
Chinese woodblock print form of nianhua, literally "New Year
pictures." James Flath analyzes the role of nianhua in the home and
later in the theatre and relates these artworks to the social,
cultural, and political milieu of North China as it was between the
late Qing dynasty and the early 1950s. Among the first studies in
any field to treat folk art as historical text, this extraordinary
account offers original insight into popular conceptions of
domesticity, morality, gender, society, modernity, and the
transformation of the genre as a propaganda tool under communism.
