*Painting Cats: Returning to Han* is the third volume in the "Painting Cats Series," a picture book series that combines cats and history, illustrated by Chinese illustrator Su Zhenglou. The first volume in the same series is also titled...Painting Cats - Meng TangEpisode 2Cat painting. Ya Song".

The books are hard-covered with exposed spines and are read horizontally, allowing them to be laid flat for reading.

The first-print bonus is two bookmarks.

The book has 128 pages and includes about 50 color illustrations, mostly arranged with one page of text and one page of illustration.

The content focuses on the Han Dynasty, combining well-researched text to depict various aspects of the Han Dynasty, including daily life and customs, famous officials and generals, stories of beauties, artistic achievements, and the inheritance of culture and technology.

By combining these elements with the lively cat as the main character, adorable illustrations with a touch of traditional Chinese style are created. 🐱

The book contains very detailed textual explanations, making it an informative illustrated book.

📍 Official Introduction

It is said that the Tang and Song dynasties were prosperous, but without the foundation laid by the Han dynasty, the Tang and Song dynasties would have been unable to build their empires.
When the people of the Han Dynasty donned armor, their territory was secured; when they picked up pen and ink, their civilization endured.
Domestically, it brings peace to the people; internationally, it stabilizes the world.
Therefore, life in the Han Dynasty was full of surprises.

The lifelike and adorable cats tell the long-forgotten history of the Han Dynasty.
From the imperial court to the marketplace, from heroes to court ladies, the customs and culture of the Han Dynasty are vividly portrayed.

The third installment of the "Cat Drawing Series," a healing picture book that combines cats and history.
