About the publisher
Hong Kong Shupu Publishing House is a publisher devoted to works of Eastern philosophy, though verifiable information about it in our records remains limited. Judging from its available titles, the press focuses on traditional Chinese calligraphy theory and the broader tradition of shuxue. Its representative title is Shu Pu, the celebrated treatise by the Tang-dynasty calligrapher Sun Guoting. The work is not only a foundational text in the history of Chinese calligraphy but also combines art criticism with philosophical reflection, which corresponds to the common classification of Eastern philosophy found alongside it. By centering its selection on such classical texts, the publisher shows a clear interest in preserving and transmitting original works of calligraphy theory. Because public information is limited, its full publishing program, editorial formats, and distinctive features remain to be documented; what can be confirmed at present is the direction reflected in its editions of Shu Pu and works associated with Sun Guoting.
