About the publisher

Its books draw on folk literature and the storytelling tradition, and also include opera and quyi works, popular editions of classical novels, and almanacs, with an emphasis on readability and practical use for ordinary readers. Its representative title in the catalog is Liu Shu Jing by Lao She, which belongs to folk literature and reflects the bookstore's focus on collecting and disseminating folk literature.
