The contents of Shaanxi peasant paintings are mostly drawn from people, animals, flowers and birds, etc. They pay attention to decoration, beautiful composition, color effects, and strong intuitive feelings. The strong flavor of farm life gradually formed its own unique artistic style. It adopts the form of line drawing, with bold and rich imagination; the strong color contrast highlights the subjective impression. It expresses life in the form of simple folk art, with unique artistic effects and long-lasting vitality. It is well received by tourists and experts at home and abroad. Shaanxi peasant paintings are mainly distributed in Huxian County in Guanzhong, Ansai and Luochuan in northern Shaanxi. Huxian County is located in the southwest of Xi'an City and is known as the "Cultural County". There have long been traditional arts and crafts such as paper cutting, painting, embroidery, and weaving. In the 1950s, people in the county carried out painting activities on the basis of spontaneous art activities. The emancipated peasants used "mud hands" to decorate their pastoral villages, used colored pens to depict the foothills of the Qinling Mountains and the surging Wei River, and used traditional folk art to express their incomparable love for the party, socialism, and new life. The style of Huxian peasant paintings is "freehand". They are unwilling to stop their ideas at the surface of simulating objective objects, but boldly and unscrupulously create their own art based on their long-term feelings, recognition and evaluation of life, their passionate emotions and rich imagination, and their aesthetic psychology formed in the aesthetic activities of national and folk art. Another feature of Huxian peasant paintings is that they are delicate in roughness, elegant in richness, and skillful in simplicity. Huxian has produced more than 2,000 native peasant painters, and many of their works have been collected by national and foreign art museums. Representatives of peasant paintings have been invited to visit abroad. In recent years, Huxian peasant paintings have cooperated with the publicity work of agricultural technology, diversified operation, cotton inspection, family planning, safe use of electricity, legal education, etc., and held various knowledge exhibitions. Among them, family planning propaganda paintings have been published in books and praised by the United Nations Population Organization. Ansai and Luochuan peasant paintings are also called northern Shaanxi peasant paintings because they are located in northern Shaanxi. It was founded in the mid-1970s and prevailed in the early 1980s. It is based on paper cutting and borrows the colors of embroidery to gradually form paintings with a strong local flavor of northern Shaanxi. Most of the authors of northern Shaanxi peasant paintings are experts in paper cutting and embroidery. Through long-term training in the basic skills of paper cutting and embroidery, they have cultivated their own aesthetic awareness and modeling concepts. This awareness and concept is reflected in the painting, and an unexpected artistic effect of the infiltration of ancient cultural concepts and modern aesthetic consciousness appears. Such works as "Blowing Hands" in Ansai and "Fishing" in Luochuan County. Domestic experts believe that it is "folk modernist art".
