About “Jieziyuan Huazhuan”
Manual of the Mustard Seed Garden, sometimes known as Jieziyuan Huapu, is a printed manual of Chinese painting compiled during the early-Qing Dynasty. It served as a foundational text for many later Chinese painters, including Qi Baishi, who started their drawing lessons with the manual. The work is an important early example of color printing, showcasing techniques and subjects central to traditional Chinese art. It was used as an educational resource, helping to transmit artistic methods through printed illustrations and instructions. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
