The “Chinese Culture” book series includes ten books on philosophical thoughts, literature, art, Chinese characters, festivals, foods and drinks, crafts, clothes, architecture and medicine. Each book introduces the history of a field or theme and the same origin of Chinese culture reflected by it, pursues its existence and manifestation in Chinese people’s life today, tells those “unknown stories” through smooth and relaxing words and exquisite pictures, reveals Chinese people’s thinking habits, behavioral modes, traditional concepts and social life, and helps readers understand “what Chinese people are like and what their thinking modes and living customs are.”
Art emerged with the emergence of man. In the past thousands of years, Chinese art inherited the spirit of China’s traditional culture, pursued unity of beauty and kindness, combination of sensibility and sense and harmony between man and nature, emphasized improvement of artists’ personal qualities and the educational function of art, and ultimately became a broad and deep world with the Chinese nation’s unique characteristics.
