The book series Celebrating Chinese Culture consists of various titles, each of which clearly explains an individual topic within its range of topics on a double page. According to editor Lim Li Kok, the easy-to-read format is based on what is probably the most successful format in the world for clearly explaining complex topics. The main text appears on the inside of a double page, two-thirds wide. At the top left there is a short introduction that introduces the subject area, while at the bottom right there is further information, each flanked by pictures and illustrations.
In this volume, Chinese Fine Arts, we take you to a distinguished gallery featuring Chinese fine arts developed over thousands of years. Chinese calligraphy, painting, music, dance, theater and sculpture are the different media used by uninhibited artists to convey both the beauty and grotesque of Chinese society.
