The Charm of Nianhua年画的魅力

年画（Nianhua， Chinese New Year Paintings）是我国一种历史悠久的民间艺术，起源于西汉，成型于北宋，盛行于明清。美丽的年画，彰显着中国人民的审美智慧与文化自信。

十九世纪末二十世纪初，年画漂洋过海，成为纳塔莉亚·冈察洛娃（Natalia Goncharova）和米凯尔·拉里昂诺夫（Mikhail Larionov）等著名俄罗斯先锋派艺术家们的收藏品，并影响着他们的艺术创作。

春节将至，让我们走进俄罗斯艺术家们与年画的故事，去了解它是如何在世界舞台上大放异彩的。

I’m Natalia Goncharova， a young artist（艺术家）living in Russia during the early 20th century. I believe you hear of my great grandfather， the famous poet Alexander Pushkin（诗人亚历山大·普希金）. Mikhail Larionov is my husband（丈夫）. He is also an artist. We always share our discoveries（发现）.

One day， Mikhail come back home excitedly with a package（包裹）. “Honey， guess what I get！ You must come and see these！” I rush downstairs and open the package.

“Amazing！ What are these？”

“These are called Nianhua， or Chinese New Year paintings. The Chinese New Year is coming， and the Chinese people are selling these paintings. People paste them on their walls and doors to celebrate the festival.”

Later， I sort（分类） them into four groups by how they look.

“You are so smart！” My husband laughs， “Nianhua has four major brands（四大品牌）， each has its unique（独一无二的） style.”

“These with bright colours and smooth outlines（轮廓清晰） are from Yangliuqing（杨柳青）， the leading Nianhua brand in Tianjin. ”

“How about these？ The paintings are so exquisite（精致的）. Look at those people in their pretty traditional clothes.”

“They belong to（属于） Taohuawu（桃花坞）， a brand from Jiangsu province.”

“This group is very special. Its characters（人物） and colours are simple. Red， green， yellow， and purple， I can name its main colours.”

“This brand is called Yangjiabu（杨家埠）. It’s from Shandong province. ”

“These are different from the other three. The artists use the brush pens（毛笔） to paint colours！”

“The characters are funny and interesting. This brand is called Mianzhu（绵竹）. It’s a place in Sichuan province.”

“They are wonderful！ We should collect more and hold an exhibition of Nianhua. We can learn a lot from them...”

In 1913， we hold the exhibition in Moscow（莫斯科）. I also display my own works， including my Chinese Sill Life（《中国静物画》）. Can you recognize（认出） which Nianhua brand influences（影响） my painting？
