Features: This book has four characteristics: one, concise; two, systematic; three, it collects new knowledge as much as possible; four, high practicality. These four characteristics aim to provide readers with systematic, concise, novel, and useful knowledge. I don’t know if it can achieve this, and I look forward to the readers’ judgment. To enable people to fully grasp both traditional and modern knowledge, the book includes both. The compilation of this dictionary follows the principles of practicality, strong representativeness, broad knowledge coverage, carefully selected entries, and novelty. The content of this dictionary includes twelve parts: painting, sculpture, applied art, calligraphy, seal carving, architecture, music, dance, opera, traditional arts, film, and television. Each part not only fully reflects the artistic talent of ancient laboring people in China and abroad but also emphasizes the new characteristics, trends, and new works of modern art in China and abroad. It greatly benefits people in enriching their leisure lives, broadening their knowledge horizons, and deepening their understanding of art and art theory. This dictionary is one of the indispensable reference books for people in all walks of life.
