An Oral History Narrated by Chinese Folk Art Inheritors has attracted much attention since its debut last year. Compiled by the Central Compilation and Translation Press under the supervision of the Chinese Art Academy's president, Wang Wenzhang, the book was displayed at last year's Frankfurt International Book Fair.
The collection marks an important academic effort to record the oral histories of the country's folk artists. Researchers compare the folk artists' personal testimonies with official documents and other written records. Chinese folklorist Wu Bing'an says the collection plays a significant role in answering the question: "Who is the master of history?"
