Chinese wood engraving has a long history. It combines painting, plate making and printing, and households across the country have traditionally displayed the engravings in celebration of the Spring Festival.

The artform is developing thanks to a number of young artists who are adapting it to fit the values and aesthetic standards of modern society and diversifying it both in terms of form and content.

Wuxi in East China's Jiangsu province is known for a type of wood engraving known as "Zhima". Unlike standard engravings, Wuxi Zhima applies an extra layer of paint after the engraving has been monochrome printed. Most of the works are used to pray for good fortune.
