Features: Through the study of excellent painting collections, artists not only learn the necessary techniques but also absorb the observational methods of the ancients. By combining these with their own thinking methods, they lay a solid foundation for future creations. For many years, people have regarded Jieziyuan Huashe as a standard textbook. However, with the advancement of the times and the development of technology, it has become difficult to meet the demands of modern people in many aspects. Due to the limitations of information at the time, the compilers were unable to collect classic works from history. Additionally, printing conditions restricted the ability to accurately reproduce the original works, resulting in significant distortion. To make up for these shortcomings, Tianjin People's Fine Arts Publishing House has organized and selected treasured works from major museums across the country, categorizing them and releasing them as a series of tools suitable for copying and appreciation to meet the needs of readers. The Chinese Famous Paintings Series including Plum, Orchid, and Chrysanthemum were well-received by readers and have been used as copy textbooks for traditional bird-and-flower courses in many art academies. The newly released Lotus, Peony, Scattered Fruits, and Vines are all colorfully printed in high quality, accurately reflecting the appearance of the original works, providing readers with a reliable basis and convenience for learning, copying, and research.
