Features: The Pocket Version Comic Inscriptions is a book that pairs inscriptions with illustrations for both Chinese and foreign sages and ordinary people. The behind-the-scenes stories of the inscriptions are deeply moving. The illustrators first thoroughly read the selected inscriptions, engaging in a "silent dialogue" with them, which sparked their creative impulses and ignited innovative ideas. To draw each humorous inscription illustration well, it requires immense effort beyond imagination. When people enter sweet dreams, the illustrators engage in tranquil and profound three-dimensional thinking for creating the book, storing their insights from reading the inscriptions and the essence of life in their minds. They integrate various information from ancient and modern times throughout the creative process. Using their third artistic eye to examine everything in their minds, they pursue a new perspective of "harmony between heaven and humanity," combining the essence of interpreting the inscriptions with the vivid details of life to create poetic and picturesque scenes. These are then arranged into thought-provoking sketches and light-hearted, comedic illustrations. This book can serve as a self-improvement read for personal cultivation. It carefully selects 150 inscriptions from the wisdom of sages and philosophers from all over the world, as well as the insightful remarks of ordinary people in modern times. Each inscription is paired with a beautiful comic. The comics are humorous and witty, creating the best result of contrast between the seriousness of the inscriptions and the humor of the illustrations.
