History of Chinese Civilization, a series of bilingual books, will win over its readers with interesting and inspiring historical facts and stories, told in accurate yet vivid, simple yet thought-provoking words. With carefully chosen and arranged texts written both in Chinese and English, the books will help both westerners and Chinese readers learn more about the language as well as the history and culture of China. Many colorful illustrations throughout the series will give readers a better understanding of those facts and stories, which tell them about not only history but also how to learn from history.

History of Calligraphy looks at Chinese calligraphy, an art dating back to the earliest day of history, and widely practiced throughout China to this day. It beautifully reveals the specific strokes and writing laws of Chinese characters, which demonstrates the temperament, character, and aesthetic perception of the Chinese people. Calligraphy has become an indispensable part of Chinese traditional culture.
