Features: "China Collection" primarily selects outstanding works and translations published in China since the 20th century in the fields of philosophy, social sciences, literary and artistic creation, and science and cultural popularization. These works and translations have had a significant positive impact on China's political, economic, cultural, and social development over more than a century and still hold great value today. They are classic and essential works that every Chinese reader must read.
Great works are always the intellectual theories that shook the wisdom of each era, the classics that enlightened the people, and the works that moved the hearts. They are treasures of the times and national culture, and they should have made contributions at the time and benefits for generations to come, passed down for a long time. "China Collection" publishes works from over a century in categories, offering a macro review of publishing achievements in the 20th century from the perspective of the new century and actively exploring future publishing endeavors. It aims to contribute to the construction of advanced Chinese culture and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Some titles in "China Collection" require reformatting due to technical reasons, with adjusted layouts, while most retain their original designs. A collection of works, a thousand books, with varying styles from solemn to humorous, scholarly to popular, a uniform layout may not always be suitable. Moreover, layout design is also part of the aesthetic appeal of a book. While readers absorb knowledge and appreciate works, they can also see the stylistic features of layout designs from different publishing institutions in different periods, which is a small joy left for readers.
