《中国》画册综合展现中国的地理环境、锦绣河山、名胜古迹和人文风情,将知识性和艺术性融为一体,使读者在阅读欣赏中增进对中国的了解。(The Philosophy of China is one of natural cycles, understatement instead of overstatement, using flow rather than force, movement over stagnation, and understanding that the only thing which remains constant is change. This album displays China and Chinese philosophy according to traditional wuxing (five elements, i.e., water, wood, fire, earth, and gold) thought, which arose from the China's naturalist school over 2,000 years ago. It embodies the Chinese view of our universe which absorbs natural phenomenon as a force not to be controlled but a continuous cycle to be pursued. Embodies by this album are the forces and aesthetic of tradition, a clear collective subconscious of the Chinese people whose 5,000-year unbroken history predates most memories of man. Here the philosophy of five elements is at work, emanating the cycle of seasons, the creative and deconstructive process of these cycles. This album includes 200 color pictures about China's geographic environment, landscape, places of interest, culture and customs, thus helping the readers get a full knowledge about China.)
