        Journey to the West for Teenagers

        by Zhang Jiahua

        The Journey to the West is one of the “Four Great Classical Novels”of China. However written in the sixteenth century with ancient words, it is hard for children to read. Zhang Jiahua, a renowned children's literature writer, has repeatedly studied and apprehended the content and spirit of the original work. And thinking from the perspective of children, he cuts the contents that are redundant and some others that are not suitable for children to read, particularly those violent and cruel scenes, creates a brand new Journey to the West for Children. The Journey to the West tells not only a journey to the west to retrieve Buddhist scriptures but also stories about spiritual growth, which is hard for young readers to perceive when they first read the book. The author adds detailed and appropriate explanations, making the intended meaning of the stories further clarified, and also making it more understandable how the Monkey King Wukong strengthens his willpower while defeating demons and ghosts and finally becomes the “Victorious Fighting Buddha”.

        Complete Works of Yungang Grottoes

        by Zhang Zhuo

        The Complete Works of Yungang Grottoes is a collection of photographic materials reflecting different periods, different caves, different artistic styles and artistic characteristics of Yungang Grottoes. It contains 20 volumes, each presenting a single Yungang cave with more than 400 pictures and several professional academic papers on the cultural and artistic characteristics of caves.   As a royal art project symbolizing the imperial power of Tuoba in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Yungang Grottoes are large in scale, rich in content, exquisite in carving, and vivid in appearance. They absorb and integrate the diverse cultures of ancient nationalities, and represent the highest level of carving in the world in the 5th century. In 2001, the Yungang Grottoes were listed on the World Heritage List.   The Complete Works of Yungang Grottoes displays the treasures of the Yungang Grottoes in an unprecedented scale, high-definition, and panoramic view, which is regarded as a recording and preserving archive of great values. For more than 1500 years, the statues of the Yungang Grottoes have been weathered and ruined by wind and rain. In the past, most of the photography focused on the contemporarily perfect Buddha statues, but the remaining statues, even the best-preserved ones, are disappearing year by year from people's sight. The Complete Works of Yungang Grottoes collects image data of them, makes the documentary files, and has them published to the public, in this way retaining the perfect art in changes.
