Woodcut New Year pictures to die out

74-year-old Chen Hongxue looked helplessly at the New Year wood blocks,
which are about to turn into waste wood, on Dec. 14. With more than 300
years of experience in producing woodcut New Year pictures, Shawo Village
at Shengli Township of Linyi City's Tancheng County has been cited as the
No. 1 village of woodcut New Year pictures in southern Shandong Province.
However, the vibrant scene of producing woodcut New Year pictures cannot
be seen this year. Affected by offset printing, woodcut New Year pictures
could hardly sell, and the villagers have stopped woodcut New Year
picture production for several years.
