Features: Looking at pictures is naturally more interesting than reading a passage of text. While pictures cannot convey movement, they can convey meaning. The more carefully you look, the more you can discover the profound insights within them. Illustrations in the book can further enhance the reader's interest. If you focus only on the pictures and not the text, connecting each picture together, that is a comic strip. Don't think that both of these methods originated from the West. In fact, they have long existed in China. Illustrating Zhuangzi's fables cannot use a realistic style—it would turn it into a dialogue between two old men, completely losing its charm. Nor can it use the mechanical, stroke-by-stroke style of Japanese manga, as that would distort the original meaning.
