Features: For dictionary-style books, sometimes you may also get addicted to them like a bookworm, the more you read, the more interesting it becomes. Sometimes it's about savoring, savoring it slowly, just like appreciating Chinese calligraphy and painting. Chinese calligraphy and painting have a long history, with generations of masters emerging one after another. Books related to calligraphy and painting are countless and hard to count. After years of meticulous compilation by the National Cultural Relics Administration, the "Illustrated Dictionary of Chinese Cultural Relics: Calligraphy and Painting Volume" has been published, encompassing the essence of all similar books. From the calligraphy of the Two Wangs to the landscape paintings of Mi Fu, from the script theory of the "cliff-script" and stele calligraphy to the Southern and Northern schools of painting, you can leisurely read and savor them. The precious cultural relics collected in this book range from the Paleolithic Age to the Opium War in 1840. It includes over 5,500 cultural relics (items) and over 5,500 illustrations. They are divided into four volumes: ceramics, bronze, gold, silver, jade, and calligraphy and painting. This volume is the calligraphy and painting volume, which includes 949 items and 949 illustrations.
