"The Dream of the Red Chamber," "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," "Water Margin," and "Journey to the West" are the four great classical literary masterpieces of our country. Shanghai (Shanghai Popular Science Press) invited over 100 contemporary Chinese painting masters, such as Cheng Shifan, Liu Danzhai, He Youzhi, Chen Baiyi, and Dai Dunbang, to illustrate these works. These distinguished masters from across the country spent two years, leveraging decades of exceptional artistic talent and profound cultural knowledge, to create over a thousand exquisite ink and wash paintings.
These masterpieces depict characters, highlight plots, capture emotions, illustrate scenes, and range from bold, expressive strokes to intricate, detailed brushwork. They present a panoramic view of the vast social life in the classics, showcasing the rich diversity of characters, plots, and artistic realms. The text and images complement each other, creating a harmonious synergy between calligraphy and painting—a rare work of art.
As the saying goes:
The blossoms of the art garden, book sentiment and painting art, pass down through the ages;
The beauty of the classics and the splendor of the paintings shine side by side.
