According to the materials held in this database, Chen Beixi has one work, Chinese Painting, classified under culture. The book deals with Chinese painting and belongs to the field of writing that introduces and popularizes art and culture for readers interested in traditional Chinese painting.

Zhai Yumei is an author about whom little public information is available; details such as her nationality, dates of birth and death, and educational background are not clearly recorded. Judging from the four works held in the collection, her writing centers on classical Chinese literature and traditional culture, including Han Yu: Snow Blocks the Blue Pass, the Horse Will Not Advance; Liu Yong: I Mean to Drink My Fill of Wild Freedom; Lu You: But I Never See the Nine Provinces United; and Chinese Painting. The first three, titled after famous lines by Han Yu, Liu Yong, and Lu You respectively, belong to literary appreciation, showing her familiarity with the lives and works of Tang and Song writers and her skill at using poetic lines to illuminate a writer's state of mind and historical context.
