Jinshan Peasant Paintings. Peasant painters of Jinshan county near Shanghai Discussing their new productions. Jinshan peasant paintings developed on the basis of the folk embroidery and scissor-cut convey a strong suggestion of the local flavor in places south of the Yangtze River. The glaring colors and bold designs characteristic of the Jinshan paintings bear a close similarity to Chinese ancient murals and New Year pictures. Photo by Liu Zhongyang
