Features: Cai Yuanpei's educational philosophy aimed to make artworks accessible to everyone. In the old China, plagued by internal and external turmoil, this vision could not be realized. However, it inspired generations of dedicated individuals to strive for it tirelessly. After the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening-up, the material and social conditions for promoting art education among the masses have been established. The importance of art education has been recognized by governments and educational institutions at all levels, which view it as a key component of quality-oriented education. Art education plays a crucial role in developing intellectual and potential capabilities, cultivating moral and aesthetic sensibilities, and enhancing overall personal qualities, which has become a growing consensus in society. Currently, in school education, primary and secondary schools have added more hours to their existing art classes, while high schools have introduced art appreciation courses. Many universities with the necessary resources also offer elective courses related to art. Beyond the campus, in recent years, with the substantial improvement in people's living standards, the demand for enriching spiritual life has become increasingly urgent, naturally including the growing demand for art among the public. In response to the times, promoting the popularization of art education and improving people's artistic literacy has been the purpose of the compilers and publishers of this book. This is a large-scale publishing project to comprehensively and systematically preserve the world's cultural heritage. The end of the 20th century marked a period in human civilization's 10,000-year history. At the threshold of the 21st century, everyone must obtain a "visa" to enter the new era. The basic qualification is to possess high quality, and aesthetic literacy is indispensable. For the Chinese, who make up the largest population in the world, it is particularly unforgivable to be ignorant of their own nation's artistic heritage.
