Features: This book follows a clear and meticulous theoretical framework, using vivid and elegant prose to weave together numerous illustrations with a "Chinese style," recreating a special aspect of 18th-century French art. Although some countries have published foreign-language books on the "Chinese style," in Chinese, we have only scatteredly encountered some simple images and short articles in newspapers and magazines. Most of them cover a small time span, lack abundant materials, and lack in-depth analysis and research. The features of this book are: 1. Extensive content. It includes over ten thousand words and more than a hundred illustrations. 2. Fresh writing style. It narrates the cultural exchanges between China and the West over two hundred years ago in a prose-like manner. 3. Complete theoretical framework. The book's over ten thousand words of explanations and descriptions reflect the author's unique achievements from long-term dedicated research, supported by extensive references, fair arguments, and a fresh yet engaging style, making it of considerable academic value.
