Overview

China Tales and Stories: HAN SHAN AND SHI DE (Chinese Version)

Han Shan and Shi De is an exquisitely beautiful story about love, loyalty, and friendship.

Not only is it one of the most lovely stories in the literature of China, but it has put into China culture two of its most highly regarded symbols - both connected to the celebration of a wedding, and a marriage. (For more about that idea, please see Mead-Hill's, China Thinking - An Introduction.) And finally, best of all - the story is based on the events in the lives of two real people from long ago.

Han Shan and Shi De is from the Mead-Hill collection, China Tales and Stories.

Han Shan and Shi De is a great moral tale, told and retold so many times that the two have became almost as famous as heroes - almost archetypes, in fact.

Han Shan and Shi De is published in multiple Mead-Hill editions. Each edition is illustrated by a different artist. Each artist uses a different style of Chinese illustration.

Each illustrated set can be collected; the collections can be put together to build a special library of China tales and stories.

Han Shan and Shi De is available in multiple Mead-Hill versions.

About the Author

ILLUSTRATOR

Tan Xiangdong lives in Xian, the former Capitol City of the Tang Dynasty. As a fine arts educator, he has a great appreciation for Chinese traditional culture and poetry, and loves sharing it with others.

A humorous and optimistic person, Tan Xiangdong very much enjoys his practice of Chinese calligraphy and drawing. In this book, he provides us with excellent examples of one of China's unique traditional drawing styles - line art. The illustrations not only help readers learn a bit about Chinese culture and history, but also provide an opportunity to explore the genre's especially detailed characters and style.
