An Encyclopaedia on Chinese History, Literature and Art
Books on Art (yishu lei 藝術類) is a subcategory in traditional Chinese bibliographies and part of the category of Masters and Philosophers (zibu 子部). The section in the collectanea Siku quanshu 四庫全書 is divided into four parts: Painting and calligraphy (shuhua 書畫, 71 books), musical notes and books to the zither (qinpu 琴譜, 4 books), seal carving (zhuanke 篆刻, 2 books), and miscellaneous arts (zaji 雜技, 4 books), including books on Chinese chess. The part on the zither has been separated from other books on music, which are integrated in the Classics section. The books on seal carving and seal script characters have also relationship to the books on glyphology (zizhu 字書) belonging to the "minor teachings" (xiaoxue 小學) in the Classics category. The most important books in this section are Gu huapin lu 古畫品錄, Qinshi 琴史 and Qijing 棋經.
