People in the Ming Dynasty to visit instead of paying tribute. Ming dynasty outstanding painter, poet Wen Zhengming in the "New Year" poem describes: "do not seek to meet but through the visit, the name of the paper towards the full sheltered hut; I also cast a number of paper with the people, the world hate hate Jane not suspected of false". Here the "famous prick" and "famous visit" that is the origin of the current New Year's card.
