Further reading: The origin and development of woodblock printing

Woodblock printing originated from printing, and it can be said that printing is the "root" of woodblock printing. Printing may seem like a pure technology, but its contribution to the art industry is enormous. Printmaking developed with the invention of printing, and modern printing technology has enriched this ancient art form. Therefore, printmaking perfectly combines the artistry and technology of printing, and is a typical representative of painting art.

Buddhism also provided an opportunity for the spread of printing. The earliest Buddhist woodcut illustrations came from the Diamond Sutra. In Chinese culture, the Diamond Sutra is a far-reaching Buddhist scripture with a history of more than a thousand years. Many people have gained enlightenment through its practice. The Diamond Sutra is a unique classic among Buddhist scriptures, transcending the boundaries of all religions and encompassing everything. In the Diamond Sutra woodcuts, many gods and Buddhas are portrayed vividly, and every line of the Buddha statue is very smooth and the shape is very vivid.

Woodblock printing continued to develop and reached its golden age in the Song Dynasty. Woodcut illustrations of books in the Song Dynasty occupy an important position in the history of Chinese woodcut prints. Although woodcut illustrations of books did not originate in the Song Dynasty, they developed maturely and perfected in the Song Dynasty. Most of the woodcut illustrations of books in the Song Dynasty were directly taken from life. From the perspective of recording, the woodcut illustrations of books in the Song Dynasty clearly restore a real Song Dynasty for us, allowing us to have a deeper understanding of the social life customs, social outlook, economic development level, and scientific and technological and cultural development level of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the woodcut illustrations of books in the Song Dynasty also have certain research value in terms of history and culture.

In addition to being mainly reflected in book illustrations, the Song Dynasty also reflects the customs and habits of people's polytheism, such as the Song people's worship of "door gods", which also played a certain role in promoting the development of woodcut prints.

Horses and other things that are popular in many places in Yunnan are also folk variations of woodcut prints.

Until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the main representative of woodblock prints was New Year pictures, which were mainly distributed in Kaifeng, Zhuxian Town and its surrounding areas, as well as Yangliuqing in Tianjin, Taohuawu in Suzhou, Weifang in Shandong and other places. The characteristics of New Year pictures are that the colors are rich and not easy to fade, the contrast is strong, the generalization is strong, the composition uses traditional techniques, there are works handed down from generation to generation, the objects are obvious, the characters and scenes are cleverly arranged, showing the beauty of three-dimensional symmetry, the pictures are rich and lifelike. Woodblock New Year pictures are traditional Chinese folk art, based on woodblock prints, and also promote the development and promotion of woodblock prints.
