New Year picture artisans had lower social status than literati painters in Ming China, so there was no signature on New Year pictures and no famous New Year Picture artisans in Ming China. A New Year picture was seasonal decoration painting, it changed every year, so there were very limited numbers of New Year pictures from the Ming dynasty. Many New Year pictures and workshops were destroyed during the war times, but one building in Weifang has been proved to be a Ming New Year picture's workshop. It contains a production room to make New Year pictures"," a "WangFang ("Chinese: 望房), the room to display New Year pictures to customers, an accountant’s office, rooms where painting merchants stayed short-term, and rooms for the workshop’s owner. This represents the New Year picture artisans’ business model, the artisans producing and selling their pictures by themselves.
