STORYLINE:

An exhibition of 60 woodblock Chinese New Year paintings was inaugurated in Kathmandu on Friday, offering a glimpse into the celebration of the Spring Festival in China.

On display are select collections of New Year paintings of Old Jiaochang, centered around Shanghai's Old City God Temple. Known for their innovative themes and exquisite craftsmanship, the paintings uniquely reflect the blend of traditional Chinese customs and Western culture during the late 19th century.

Each of these paintings from the Shanghai History Museum has bright and intense colors, delicate and vivid lines, and rich and diverse themes, ranging from myths and legends to secular life, and from opera stories to auspicious patterns, showing the wisdom and creativity of the Chinese people and conveying profound connotations of traditional Chinese culture, noted Zhou Qunhua, head of the museum.

The exhibition, jointly hosted by the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Culture and Tourism and China Cultural Center in Nepal at the Nepal Academy of Fine Arts, is open to the public till Jan. 31.
