Features: You must have had such experiences: "Take a look at my Qingtian carving!" "Isn’t this the authentic European landscape painting?!"

In fact, this book is not just an art appreciation guide—it equips us with a certain ability. From then on, we will appreciate or examine different forms of beauty from a cultural perspective. After grasping the roots of Chinese and Western cultures, we will be able to understand and enjoy the myriad artistic works more thoroughly, and live a freer life!
