The paintings are accompanied by texts written by experts, offering detailed analysis of the artists’ works. It is a powerful tribute to Chinese ancient paintings and provides original insight into the work itself. In this series (volumes 11-20), most of handscrolls are painted in Song Dynasty, in which painting became an art of high sophistication and reached a new level of sophistication with further development of landscape painting. The original paintings have been in the collection of the Palace Museum or the Taipei Palace Museum for many years.

The artworks are presented in the traditional format of a handscroll which can be extended indefinitely, so that the postscripts and observations of later generations can be directly followed by the end of the works.

Star and Moon presents the daily life of the Hui people and expresses a kind of “emptiness” that transcends time and meaning. Lonely, mysterious, quiet and elegant, the simple images are like a faded postcard, bringing a deep Zen feeling to the heart. At first glance, the images of Star and Moon are plain and seemingly picturesque. However, if you sit quietly for a moment and feel the breath conveyed by the black and white shadows, you will experience a heavy breath running through it, adsorbing the viewer's eyes tightly, following the photographer's lens in the cycle of the stars and the moon, experiencing the destiny of the Islamic nation together.

Yang Yankang expands the scope of experimental exploration of the language of modern Chinese photography, and creates a revelatory way of perceiving the art of practical photography. His works on the three major religions have historically placed them in a prominent position in the history of modern Chinese art, and he has become one of the leading photographic artists in China and even in the world.

This book contains two classic series, Chi Yi and Er Gong, which document the creative process of artist Chen Duxi over the past 13 years. Chi Yi is a way to merge the observer as a subject into the object of observation by means of movement, and to observe fluid changes as a way to study ontological painting from a subject-object perspective. The artist has long had a strong interest in and sensitivity to the texture and state of movement of subtle things. The works unify line and texture by reprocessing texture details in a highly distinctive personal style. Under the artist's brush, the water patterns take different forms, and the flowing, coiling and settling movement states form a harmonious, subtle and introverted line aesthetic, and constitute the artist's unique visual language and its visual spectrum. The Er Gong series is an interpretation of the microscopic world of plants and animals from a de-anthropocentric perspective, exploring the relationship between individual creatures and paintings.

Zhong Kui - the only "God of all response" in Chinese civilisation. He is not a prominent god who is always worshiped, but the legend surrounding him has been passed down to this day. This generous patron saint eventually became a classic symbol of Chinese culture. Ancient and modern paintings of Zhong Kui have no been gathered together in one book.

Portraits of Zhong Kui by Timeless Masters includes 120 high-definition Zhong Kui paintings of 97 ancient and modern masters, such as Xu Beihong, Qi Baishi, Li Keran, Zhang Daqian, Fan Zeng, Fu Baoshi, etc. Masters of different eras and different painting styles have distinguished themselves, constantly enriching Zhong Kui's image in the long river of history. Not only is the subject matter numerous, the book also includes a variety of works such as vertical axes, fans, and lenses. In addition to the paintings, more than 80 abstracts and inscriptions from different dynasties included in this book, as important textual supplements, will follow the history of the trace of Zhong Kui.

This book collects Li Qiang’s classic photographs from 1981 to the present with three chapters: Northern Homeland, Distant Memory, and City Encounter. Li Qiang applies black and white images to record the changes in the lifestyle and cultural landscape of this era, from his hometown of Liyaoxian in northern Shaanxi to Xi'an, where he works and lives, and then to Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macau in the south. These photographs record the social landscape of the current accelerated industrialisation and urbanisation, criticise the destruction of nature and original civilisation, and pay attention to the state of individual existence. This deep humanistic sentiment is placed in every frozen moment, allowing us to refocus on the freshness and touching of daily life that has long been common place. Li's influence on contemporary photography is not only reflected in his absolute adherence to his own aesthetic system, but also in his personal understanding between his hometown and modernity, and between himself and the times, providing a unique path for the innovation and expression of photographic language.
