Features:

From the composition point of view, the peasant paintings in Neihuang County are full and complete. China people's circular cosmology is reflected in the ideal aesthetic psychological orientation of "perfection" of things formed by the Han people's concept of folk art modeling, which is well reflected in Neihuang farmers' paintings. Farmers have been longing for a better life in the traditional sense, such as "abundant grain", "prosperous six animals" and "rich family". In order to echo these "rich" and "solid" ideologies, their works must pursue rich and full composition. However, fullness does not make the picture look heavy and bloated. Folk artists also pay attention to the role of blank pictures and make good use of blank pictures to set off objects.

In terms of modeling, being fat means beauty, simplicity, exaggeration and decoration. Perhaps because of too much suffering in the past, in the eyes of local people, obesity is always associated with concepts such as wealth, food and clothing, and happiness in life. At the same time, obesity is a symbol of health, ability and prosperity. Therefore, the characters in farmers' paintings in Neihuang County are "simple and vigorous" and the expression technique is "clumsy and rough". Especially the female images, almost all of them are plump, and everyone is plump. Folk artists don't look at things with the naked eye, but think of images with their eyes, seeking truth from facts rather than seeking the truth of nature. This unique modeling concept naturally has its unique aesthetic value. "

From the color point of view, the peasant paintings in Neihuang County have nothing to do with tragedy, and often choose festive things as the content of expression. This distinct tendency of topic selection determines its strong color contrast and fiery stimulation. It is dominated by red, green, yellow, purple, black and other monochromatic colors, and uses local unique local pigments to skillfully make fashionable and popular colors, emphasizing the coordination of proportions. It is mainly flat painting, with both drying and dyeing, and the color block is large but not broken, forming a strong folk color, which is very different from the "elegant" Jinshan peasant painting. Folk color matching methods, such as "purple is the bone blue, red and yellow are updated", "red and yellow, likes and dislikes" and "red heavy purple, stinky shit", have been well used and embodied here.

Line is also an important feature of peasant painting and its spirituality. Farmers' paintings in Neihuang County are also very individual in use. The lines are Gu Zhuo's, vigorous, smooth and even in thickness, much like the "iron line drawing" in China's traditional paintings. The context is clear and there are few trivial lines, which is very different from the thick lines of Huxian peasant paintings and the short and dense lines of Jinshan peasant paintings.
