The Good-looking Chinese Pictures
by Tian Yubin
This is an enlightenment book about Chinese painting for children. The book is divided into five parts: abstraction, characters, landscape, flowers and birds, and visions. It introduces the famous paintings in the history of Chinese painting to children in simple and understandable language, from the author and the story behind the painting to the details and paintings. The ideological implication and traditional cultural connotation behind are all explained one by one, which can not only cultivate children's aesthetic vision and inspire children to think, but also use this as an opportunity to guide children into the world of traditional culture. Traditional cultural education is a very important part of current school and family education, but it often lacks high-quality media with both professionalism and affinity, and places too much emphasis on instilling knowledge. The manuscript uses Chinese paintings as clues and uses vivid storytelling to enlighten children on traditional Chinese art and culture, which meets a considerable part of the market demand.
