Notes

General Note:
This is a domestic scene on the eve of the New Year. While one lady is lighting up the candles at the altar the other ladies are seated on the warmed brick-bed making dumplings. Two young boys are playing a game called Win promotion1 (Jiaguan), alluding to the hope of success in their future careers. The colophon reads: "The women of the household see the old year out, the brothers compete to be promoted." According to Yin Huang this print can be identified as the work of a specific artist, namely Gao Tongxian，who was one of the most famous artists working at the Yangliuqing print shops. Although this particular print has been dated to 1905, the subject is a reproduction from his earlier work. The original blocks for this design were cut at the beginning of the reign of the Guangxu emperor (r. 1875-1908), and continued to be reproduced in the studios until 1906.
