The term "minhwa" translates to "folk painting" in Korean. These artworks were created by anonymous artists and were often commissioned by common people, reflecting the tastes and values of the general population rather than the aristocracy.

Animals in Minhwa art were often imbued with symbolic meanings. For example, tigers were considered symbols of courage and protection, while magpies were associated with good fortune. Understanding the symbolic significance of the animals in the artwork can provide deeper insights into the cultural and historical context of Minhwa.
