Features: Actually, picture books and text books have existed in ancient China for a long time. Have you heard of the legend of the "He Tu Luo Shu"? This story tells of the ancient figure Fu Xi, when a dragon horse emerged from the Yellow River carrying the "He Tu" (River Map); another divine turtle appeared from the Luo River carrying the "Luo Shu" (Lo River Map). In simple terms, the "Tu" (Map) refers to picture books, while "Shu" (Book) refers to text books. This shows that China had both text books and picture books long ago. Later, picture books became even more numerous. The famous "Confucius Holy Pictures" is an example, where the deeds of Confucius were illustrated with pictures and accompanied by text, compiled into a book for everyone to see. During the Qing Dynasty, a very famous book called "Manchu Annals" also featured both pictures and text. This book contains 83 illustrations, with exquisite and vivid lines. It also includes text in three languages: Chinese, Manchu, and Mongolian. You see, this "Manchu Annals" has both pictures and text, with the pictures following the text and the text explaining the pictures. Readers of this picture book in the past, while looking at the illustrations and reading the text, must have found it very interesting. The "Comics Version of the Veritable Records of the Twelve Emperors of the Qing Dynasty" presented before you now is hoped to be enjoyed by young readers.
