Ancient paintings are classical-themed paintings that cover history, old news, allusions, legends, poetry and other historical elements, and have plot content and ancient meanings. Character paintings are the mainstay of Fu Baoshi's painting art. According to the title of the paintings, they can be divided into six series: "Eastern Jin and Six Dynasties", "Ming and Qing Dynasties", literati and painting history stories, Qu Yuan and "Chu Ci", Tang and Song poetry and others. These paintings are mostly based on the elegant deeds of famous sages from past dynasties, conveying the sincere elegance, depth and extraordinary joyful embrace. This book unearths Fu Baoshi's thoughts and feelings in his creations at a specific period, and discusses Fu Baoshi as a scholar and literati who transcends the identity of a simple painter in the context of Chinese intellectual history, academic history and literati spiritual pedigree in the 20th century, in order to highlight his spiritual outlook and ideological significance.

The author of this book provides readers with an in-depth explanation of the lesser-known stories of the guardians of the Forbidden City from the perspective of a reporter. They are the old dean who walked through the more than 9,000 rooms of the Forbidden City in old cloth shoes, the experts on Qing history who restored the "Golden Dragon Banquet", the "general stewards" of the Forbidden City, the "generals who stand in the palace" who guard the cultural relics, a group of restorers of ancient buildings who "go to the rooms and uncover the tiles", and the exotic flowers and plants that have been guarded inside and outside the walls of the imperial concubine's courtyard for many years. "Red Cat"... They only do one thing throughout their lives, guarding everything here with their love for the Forbidden City and their affection for cultural relics... In the deep palace, they always have an increasingly quiet heart and an increasingly focused emotion, just as the bronze restoration master Wang Youliang said: "The walls of the Forbidden City are too thick, and the outside wind cannot blow in.

Canada, known as the "Maple Leaf Country", is at the forefront of the world in terms of economic development, social freedom, national happiness and quality of life. Charming natural scenery, superior living environment and splendid multiculturalism have made Canada always praised by the world and become a fascinating and beautiful country. Although it does not have a long history, Canada's modernization journey is unique. It has neither broken out a vigorous revolutionary movement nor set off a magnificent war of independence, nor has it launched any crazy foreign aggression. Canada's history has always moved slowly along a path of moderate reformism. Continuous reforms and compromises have not only maintained the country's territorial integrity and sovereign independence, but also greatly promoted social and economic development. This book uses a concise and concise writing style, using the colonial, dominion and independent country periods as clues, supplemented by economic, political, cultural, religious and social content, to outline the basic context of Canada from the colony to the beginning of the 21st century, showing Canada's unique historical charm.
