I wouldn't say they are common for all of China. In Wuchuan this is the only one I've seen on a home so far. But there are communities here in southern Guangdong where they apparently were/are popular; see one, see many. The photos in my two previous posts were taken in such villages where paintings were/are valued. What IS more common is to see such painting on tiles in temples and on gates to villages. Will post some of those eventually, too.<br /><br />Linda, owning a house would indicate that the family is well-to-do; but these tiles painted with an image are not so very expensive, unless the artist was famous.Franciscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733111654769386624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685880837517606009.post-20793268645166047362012-05-22T06:52:04.005+08:002012-05-22T06:52:04.005+08:00This tile mural couldn't be more auspicious fo...This tile mural couldn't be more auspicious for the family home. I didn't know until now that murals were used to decorate homes in China. Is it very common or a new phenomenon?
