About the publisher

People's Fine Arts Publishing House focuses on professional art publishing, educational publishing, and lianhuanhua (Chinese picture-story books). Its 429 titles in the catalog span art theory, literary appreciation, and calligraphy rubbings. Representative publications include the Renmei Shupu series, which presents historical rubbings such as the Eastern Han clerical-script steles Li Qi Bei, Cao Quan Bei, and Yi Ying Bei, along with Northern Song Mi Fu's Shu Su Tie and Tiaoxi Shi Tie and Tang Lu Jianzhi's Wen Fu. Qi Baishi's Art of Painting (4 volumes) and Chen Chuanxi's History of Chinese Landscape Painting (2 volumes) reflect its strength in painting research and art-historical compilation. Alongside Wang Guowei's Renjian Cihua, its authors include scholars and artists such as Hua Rende, Sun Xiaoyun, Lou Shibai, and Lou Shude, giving the press a publishing profile that balances calligraphy rubbings, painting art, and art history and theory.
