Features: According to the custom of Shanghai people, after the New Year, the elderly Shi Zhecun turned 97. His well-received "Record of Art Discussions" has been continued, still published by Wenhui Press. This book, "Record of Art Discussions: Continuation," remains the "learned but concise essays" of Mr. Shi Zhecun. It collects 164 pieces of inscriptions and annotations by the elderly on appreciating bronze artifacts, musical stones, and precious inkstones, nearly two-thirds of which have never been published before. Each piece is accompanied by illustrations. The book discusses how art is no longer a sacrifice, no longer an ivory tower, nor just an embellishment of life, but rather a part of life, or even the very essence of life. It explores art from a fresh perspective and in diverse forms, striving to offer readers an unconventional and refreshing experience.
