Ancient China’s Painting Featuring Children（Chinese Traditional Paintings）(中国古代儿童生活画（中国绘画艺术系列）)

Child imagery has played an important role in China's traditional art of painting. The earliest depictions of children were found over 2,000 years ago. However, it is after more than a millennium that genre paintings featuring children had their heyday 1,000 years later. Overall, child subjects fall into three categories: playing children, shepherd boys, and peddlers. In addition, baby imagery derived from Spring Festival woodcuts became a great favorite of ordinary people, as it usually contains the auspicious implications of "many sons, many blessings."(《中国古代儿童生活画》收录了中国古代儿童生活画，旨在介绍中国传统文化中一个具有代表性文化专题。精心搭就的框架下勾勒出中国文化的其中一个面貌，使读者可以在愉快的阅读中领略中国文化的丰富多彩和博大精深。书系强调知识性、趣味性和通俗性，力求透过流畅、轻松的文字和精美的图片，使那些与现代生活有一定距离的传统文化瑰宝鲜活、直观地呈现在读者面前。)
