The "Chinese Folk Art Style" series, each volume not only narrates the historical development, explores cultural connotations, and explains the craftsmanship and materials but also provides annotations for each illustration, including origins, dates, and sources. The series emphasizes both text and images, making it a "late but ripe" work in the field of folk art crafts. Today, series on jade, stone, ceramic furniture, bronze Buddha statues, and ancient coins have attracted widespread attention, while series covering folk art crafts related to history, literature, folklore, religion, and culture are relatively scarce. Moreover, with societal development, the preservation and destruction of these treasures are urgently in need of rescue. The compilation of this series aims to inspire further efforts in this regard, hoping to contribute to their preservation.
