Early in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, people here had the tradition of drawing, embroidery, cutting, plaiting and so on.

Coming to the 1960s, it developed to be polished and emphasized on sculpts. Since 1970s, it has been devoting to depict life and has a distinct local character of being simple, straightforward, unsophisticated, bright and colorful.
