Features: It can be said to be a trinity of "painting techniques," "painting theory," and "painting history," which is one of the important reasons why the Jiezi Garden Painting Manual stands out among Chinese painting classics and is widely favored by scholars. The New Edition of the Jiezi Garden Painting Manual inherits its excellent tradition, with Xu Hongbin's Insect Section well reflecting the editor's intentions and principles. This book takes the transmission of techniques through illustrative examples as its main purpose, with hundreds of illustrations carefully selected from sketches of grasshoppers and other insects from all over the country, meticulously outlined stroke by stroke. The accompanying text is concise, fluent, and easy to understand; it combines painting theory with techniques, explaining complex ideas in a simple yet profound manner, with a meticulous approach that avoids sensationalism.
