Foshan's woodblock new year painting is one of "China's top 4 woodcut new year pictures", along with Tianjin's Yangliuqing new year painting, Suzhou's Taohuawu new year painting and Weifang's Yangjiafu new year painting.

The themes of Foshan's woodblock new year painting are figures usually from Chinese legends and history, including "Shenshu and Yulv ( 神荼郁垒 two door gods in Chinese legends)", "Qin Shubao and Yuchi Gong(秦叔宝 尉迟恭 two generals in the Tang Dynasty whose figures are often used to drive out evil spirits)", "Fu, Lu and Shou (福禄寿three gods that respectively represent happiness, wealth and longevity)", "Children carrying gold (金钱童子)", "God of peace and harmony (和合二仙)", "A fairy brings a son (天姬送子)", "Guan Yu (关羽 a general in the Three Kingdoms period)" and "Justice Bao (包公 a government officer during the reign of Emperor Renzong in the Song Dynasty)". After 1949, new themes are added to woodblock new year painting, such as "Women can hold up half of the sky".
