Features: Originally, art cannot be measured by commercial standards, yet in practice, it cannot completely detach from economic principles. Art cannot exist in isolation from people, and society relies on the economy as its lifeline. Therefore, both directly and indirectly, art is subject to the control of the economy. This does not refer to the "progress of the content of art" or its "opportunity for existence." Over the past century, China has produced a succession of renowned cartoonists and a stream of masterpieces. These works have endured through the ages, cherished and beloved by the masses for their strong satirical humor and distinct national characteristics. To promote the spirit of the Chinese nation and the fine traditions of Chinese cartoons, this publisher has launched the "Masterpieces of Chinese Cartoon History" series to delight a broad readership. This book is a collection of Peng Di Zuo's "Lao Fu Zi."
