Features: Zhang Yiping said in the preface to the book "Notes on a European Journey": "We believe that art is the light and warmth in culture. Painting and sculpture are the highest expressions of human spirit. For thousands of years in our country, artists have emerged one after another. The brilliance of the Tang and Song dynasties is now distant and unattainable. The decline of modern art is a source of sighs. Our national spirit has become weak to the extreme. Many overseas students envy the splendor of Western material civilization, and those who study art are even 'few and far between.' How can we bring about a Renaissance in Chinese literature and art, and let our nation shine in the world? Those who eat beef abroad and use academics as a stepping stone have no hope. Those who regard academics as their life and dedicate their lives to research have hope." This book is suitable for researchers or enthusiasts of painting art, Liu Haisu researchers or admirers, those who have traveled to Europe, and those who are about to travel to Europe, as well as students at all levels.
