These paintings, called Sui Chao (Morning of the Year) vary little in subject theme no matter the dynasty, emperor or artist. They all present the visual kaleidoscope of activity that marks this propitious occasion. Painted during the reign of the Ching dynasty emperor Ch'ien Lung (1736-1796 A.D.), the painting is the work of the court painter, Yao Wen-han.
