It has been four years since Chinese Kunqu Opera has been awarded the title "Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity" by UNESCO. As a masterpiece of Chinese classic opera, Chinese Kunqu Opera has gone far beyond the bounds of territory and is today acknowledged the world over. Chinese Kunqu Opera is an old Chinese opera form with a history of 600 years. To further understand its value, we can approach it from three aspects: the dramatic literature, the musical tradition and the performing art system. Chinese Kunqu Opera represents the highest level of Chinese classic theatrical literature, the last heritage of classic music as well as the perfect performance of classic operas.
The work "Chang Sheng Dian" tells of a legendary romance between Emperor Tang Ming and Imperial Concubine Yang. It presents the fine art of Kunqu Chuanqi creation and has become a model for Kunqu Chuanqi creation in structure, character, language and rules and forms of poetry.
The work "Tao Hua Shan" tells a romance of the Ming Dynasty. In particular, the author had made active exploration into the Kunqu Chuanqi creation and achieved an extremely high level in literary depiction.

This book brings together over seventy Chinese fine brushwork paintings by Xu Jin, including figures, landscapes, animals, flowers and birds. While his works draw on sources in earlier art and traditional iconography, they also reflect Xu Jin's gift as a narrator and storyteller capable of inventing fresh and new ways of bringing the past to life.
Xu Jin’s paintings are characterized by stylish composition, impressive colors, and fine lines. They not only demonstrate a natural integration of verse, calligraphy, painting and seal, but also a fine combination of Chinese and Western painting skills. His figure paintings display the artist's virtuoso command of the techniques of traditional Chinese painting as well as his encyclopedic knowledge of Chinese history and literature, embodied in his depictions of artists, poets, military heroes, famous beauties, and deities. They also combine the finesse and technical polish with the more spontaneous, calligraphic gestures of Chinese literati painting. Learn More...

Chinese female artists usually didn’t get the recognition they deserved because the artists were generally men. This book features a handful of the 250 artworks collected by the Palace Museum. According to the book, the female artists can be divided into two groups: the boudoir painters, or artists from wealthy families, and courtesan painters, who honed their artistic skills with the literati’s assistance. Between the two groups, the author compares the groups’ lifestyles and mentalities, the choice subjects in their works, the ways they render their emotions, and the calligraphy featured in their works. With color artworks and photos.
