The Frankfurt Book Fair, the most important book fair in the world, saw the launch of the English version of Symbols of China."Symbols of China", which was edited by a team headed by renowned Chinese writer Feng Jicai, seen here, contains thousands of pictures of so-called "cultural signs", including ancient symbols, historical heritages, customs, legends, literature and arts, all easy to understand for foreign readers.
China View reports the six-volume series books were published by Yilin Press and a German version is set to be released soon.
The publisher of that version will be Elsevier Publishing Group which may be looking for a prestige impact rather than massive sales.
