Press Release Summary: We provide authentic Huxian Peasant Paintings created by
peasants working in Shaanxi Province. Other artists often copy the originals (in
fact, most peasant paintings sold at tourist sights in China are copies), but when
you buy our paintings, feel confident that the artist who created the design has
painted it. After designing the painting, this original artist paints it over and
over, though of course small variations exist, making each painting unique.

Located 40 km (about 25 miles) southwest of Xian City, Huxian County was named the
County of Painting by Ministry of Culture in 1988. Bordering Qinling Mountain to the
south and the Wei River to the north, Huxian County boasts splendid landscapes and a
long history. Now, Huxian County is also renowned as one of the most famous counties
of Peasant Painting in China.
Originated from the traditional folk arts such as paper cutting, embroidering and so
on, Peasant Painting in Huxian County first appeared during the 1950s. At that time,
most paintings were focused on work. Now, peasants portray almost every aspect in
their daily life. Feeding livestock, children playing, local operas, village
traditions, ducks swimming, elders playing Chinese chess, and so on are all
wonderful topics for painting. By using bright colors and fantastic style, peasants
record their everyday life, the beautiful landscape, the great harvests and the busy
festivals vividly. Some paintings are bold and unconstrained; some are strong and
impassioned, while yet others are ornate and elegant. All of them have a naive
charm, clear and full of the feeling of folk life.
