«Wit and Humour from Ancient China» is Ding Cong's cartoon book, published by New World Press in paperback (220 pages, in Chinese and English).
A collection of 100 bilingual cartoons in which Ding Cong humorously depicts scenes from ancient China: two men chatting over tea, calligraphy, gestures and everyday customs. The line drawings, with touches of green ink, and the Chinese and English texts invite readers to compare the captions with the panels. Each page is a satirical print combining Chinese tradition with the author's ironic gaze.
Bilingual edition (Chinese and English) from New World Press, Beijing. The cover reproduces the signature «小丁84» and the Chinese title «古趣集». The translator is listed as Ma Mingtong. Published in 1986 as a first edition.
Ideal for readers interested in Chinese graphic humour, satirical cartooning and the art of ancient China, as well as for students of Chinese or English who want to practise with a short, visual text.
