冯骥才,中国民间文艺家协会主席,一直以来致力于抢救中国民间文化,其中包括由他主持的中国木版年画普查、抢救工作。至今,中国木版年画普查工作已经完成三分之二,中国木版年画第一卷业已出版。对于濒临消亡的中国年画,冯骥才说:“其实早在民国初年,中国年画已经开始消失,上海清晰呈现了中国年画消失的历程痕迹。” Feng Jicai, chairman of the Association of Chinese Folk Literature and Art, has always been dedicated to the rescue of Chinese folk culture, including the census of Chinese woodcut pictures conducted by him and the rescue work. So far, two-thirds of China’s annual survey of woodblock paintings has been completed and the first volume of the Chinese woodblock New Year Pictures has been published. Feng Jicai, on the verge of extinction, said: “In fact, as early as the early Republican China, Chinese New Year pictures began to disappear. Shanghai clearly showed traces of the disappearance of Chinese New Year pictures.”
