Definition
贴画 (tiē huà) refers to small decorative pictures that are often collected or pasted onto surfaces. Common types include pin-up pictures of celebrities or collectible pictures from matchboxes. The word combines 贴 (to paste) and 画 (picture), so it can also be used for stickers or decals in general.
