There are 26 Chinese and international masterpieces, telling 26 Chinese and foreign historical stories, including Su Wu’s uncompromising sheep herding to the dove of peace in Guernica, never eating Zhou grain, and battling against the War of Aggression. This book’s focus is on historical narratives. Ancient Chinese works of art, such as the Plucking Osmund that tells the tale of Boyi and Shuqi’s refusal to eat Zhou grain, the Su Wu Tends Sheep about uncompromising Su Wu, and the Picture of Ancient Chinese Kings that lists ancient Chinese emperors, are included in the first half of the book. The majority of Western art pieces are chosen for the second half of the work, which tells the stories of significant persons and events in the history of other nations. For instance, the School of Athens, a collection of Western Sages, the "Trilogy of Peter the Great’s History" series of paintings recording history of Russia, the Death of Marat about the French Revolution, the Napoleon Crossing the Alps portraying the renowned European Military Commander Napoleon, the Third of May 1808 and the Guernica accusing of war atrocities and cruelty, etc. Through the depictions of frozen historical periods on the painting, this book helps young readers to grasp history and the wider world.
