About the publisher
The Shanghai-based Zhonghua Book Company has, within this catalog, a list centered on parenting titles. Its representative works are Mencius Fairy Tales and Han Feizi Fairy Tales, both involving Yu Shouzheng and Lü Boyou as authors. Judging from the available titles, the publisher focuses on turning pre-Qin classics into story forms suitable for children, using the fairy-tale approach to introduce Mencius's and Han Feizi's ideas and allusions, balancing instruction with interest and serving family parent-child reading and traditional cultural enlightenment. Limited by the in-catalog materials, public information on its full publishing direction and series structure is scarce; the features that can be confirmed so far center on retelling classics in accessible narratives and on having authors versed in literature and history write them.
