Features: China Water Conservancy and Electric Power Press is a central-level publishing organization with a rigorous work ethic, meticulous management, and over 40 years of history. It is among the first batch of "National Outstanding Publishers." Initially, it primarily published scientific and technical publications on water conservancy and power. With the expansion of its business and strengthened capabilities, it has now successively published a wide range of publications in civil engineering, architecture, computer science, tourism, and other fields, earning the praise and approval of readers. On this basis, we are committed to promoting the spirit of scientific exploration and upholding traditional culture, striving to achieve the integration of science and art, as well as the fusion of publishing and culture, in order to contribute our part to the preservation of traditional Chinese art. To this end, we are honored to invite the renowned art expert, Mr. Shi Shuqing, to compile this series of "Investment and Appraisal of Chinese Artworks," with the strong support of Yachang Enterprise Co., Ltd. We extend our gratitude to them here. Compared to other published books in the same category, the greatest feature of this series is that experts combine their years of experience and insights to analyze the key points of collecting and appreciating various types of artworks, making every word a gem. Nearly 300 artworks in each book are carefully selected and thoroughly analyzed by experts, showcasing high representativeness and informativeness. Through reading and appreciation, readers can not only gain comprehensive knowledge of artworks but also master the essence of appraisal. This series is highly suitable for art collectors and enthusiasts from all walks of life. To save space, this series uses abbreviations for auction houses, such as "China" referring to "China International Auction Company," and so on. All monetary units mentioned in the book are in "ten thousand yuan," and dimensions are in "centimeters," etc. For brevity, we do not list every example, but readers are advised to take note.
