Book Design in Japan and China: From Lu Xun, Tao Yuanqing, Chen Zhifo, to New China

Weirong 　Lu

Lu Xun（鲁迅）was a writer, as well as a pioneer of modern book design in China. He started to get involved in the designing if his own books as early as 1920s while he was engaged in his literature works because of the influence of Natsume Soseki（夏目漱石）and Shirakabaha (白桦派), the famous Japanese writers who combined literature with fine arts. He also learned from then outstanding Japanese publications that were heavily influenced by the Western fine arts. Due to Lu Xun’s（鲁迅）strong belief in “Pragmatic Westernisation" (拿来主义), similar strong influence of the Japanese fine arts and crafts can be also seen in the young artists’ works such as Tao Yuanqing (陶元庆), one of Lu Xun’s students, and Chen Zhifo (陈之佛). However, the tradition of the Japanese artistic influence suddenly disappeared after the start of the New China in 1949. This article intends to examine the process of such evolution and change based on reviewing relevant original works and information.
