Why is there always that fat doll in New Year pictures?

There are always fat dolls in New Year pictures:

1, China people pay attention to "prosperous people", and white and fat dolls are favored by people. In the early days, there was a custom that infertile women tied dolls in Tianhou Palace, and doll paintings were also welcomed by people. Doll paintings have a wide range of themes, such as "Fairy gives a son", "Lotus Peanut gives a noble son", "Hundred Flowers Bloom", "Lucky Festival", "Climbing Guangxi and Riding a Dragon", "Peace in Zhu Bao", "Hope for the Gospel" and "The Moon covers the ghost".

The main characters in the painting are all ancient dolls with a bun. Some of them are wearing shorts and shorts, and some are pregnant, which is very naive.

Generally speaking, the fat dolls in the New Year pictures will hold a carp, surrounded by lotus flowers and lotus seeds, mainly to express the meaning that "Lian (Lian) has more than (fish) every year", that is, life is rich and there are inexhaustible possessions every year. Therefore, the fat dolls in the New Year pictures also represent the yearning for a better life.
