About the publisher
Founded in 1982, Modern Press is a Chinese publisher that serves general readers across a diverse range of subjects. Judging from its catalog, its publishing focuses on classical poetry, Eastern philosophy, psychological research and application, popular science, and modern poetry, along with history, biography, and children's books. The Book of Songs, the illustrated vernacular edition of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, The Complete Poems of Dai Wangshu, and Buddhism in the Vegetable Roots reflect efforts to make traditional culture and poetry accessible; works by Carl Gustav Jung such as The Development of Personality and Understanding Your Psychological Type, together with titles from the Ivy International Education Alliance, show sustained attention to psychology and educational reading; and Stephen Hawking's works and the illustrated two-volume Brief History of Everything and A Brief History of Time indicate a commitment to popular science. Its authors include figures such as Qu Wanli, Xu Ke, Dai Wangshu, and Jung, and its publishing emphasizes retelling classics and accessible, illustrated presentation.

About the author
Li Wenjing's publicly available information is limited, and details of her identity and life remain unclear; nonetheless, the nine works included in the collection offer a rough outline of her writing. Her works span several fields: on the one hand, finance, economics, and examination-oriented textbooks such as Basic Accounting (with micro-lecture videos) and Financial Management Practice, which explain the fundamentals of accounting and finance to learners; on the other hand, popular science, industrial technology, and design readings such as Natural Lacquer and Natural Treasures, which introduce natural materials and precious objects. This range suggests that she is able to handle both practical, instructional content and the popularization of knowledge in the natural sciences and craft design. Overall, her writing is knowledge-oriented and practical, focused on making specialized material accessible to readers, and is suitable for learners and interested readers in the relevant fields.
