According to the available data, this kind of New Year pictures only exists in Gaomi, mainly produced in more than 30 villages in Jiangzhuang and xia zhuang, the northern township of Gaomi. Ash-throwing New Year pictures grew up on the basis of freehand Chinese paintings. Later, after the development and innovation of Wang Xing's family in Gongpomiao Village, Beixiang, Gaomi, New Year pictures were formed on the basis of literati paintings and temple murals, followed by hand-painted, half-printed and half-painted. The so-called ash throwing means burning ash with willow branches, mainly tracing lines, and making multiple copies at a time. Then the artist painted the face and hands on the printed manuscript, colored it, drew gold, crossed it, and finally painted the key parts with varnish. Powder-spraying New Year pictures have unique techniques, replacing ink with color, rough and smooth lines, strong writing meaning and distinctive style.

During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, various clay toys were produced and sold. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, the variety of clay toys increased, and some of them were still very active and screaming was interesting.
