SHAOYANG, Hunan, Jan. 25 (Xinhua) -- To prepare for the upcoming Chinese New Year, Yin Dongxiang, owner of a New Year picture workshop in Tantou Township, central China's Hunan Province, is busy making tiger-themed New Year pictures.

It takes dozens of steps including painting, woodblock cutting and printing to complete a Tantou New Year picture, which was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2006.

According to Chinese tradition, families replace their New Year pictures with new ones as Chinese New Year arrives.
