Hi Pat

Although the Jing School (京) is one of the earliest schools for inside painted bottles, there are not many literature devoted to this school.

Most publications for this school focused on it’s old masters such as Ma Shaoxuan, Zhou Leyuan, Ye Zhongsan and a few others.

You can find more information on them from titles like “Inkplay In Microcosm: Inside-painted Chinese Snuff Bottles - The Humphrey K F Hui Collection” by a Hong Kong collector, Humphrey Hui and “The World In A Bottle” by Stephen L Little & Joseph B Silver.

Unfortunately, books on comptemporary Jing artists are rare, one being “The Art Of Liu Shouben: Inside-Painted Snuff Bottles Of The Beijing School” by fellow local collector Dr Wong Kai Sang which is devoted entirely to Master Liu Shouben. Master Liu remains the current active artist from this school with a few students.

By the way, Master Wang Xisan is also a student from this school before he forms his own Ji School (冀) in Hebei.

For the Lu School (鲁) of the Shandong province, there are a few publications in Chinese published in recent years. One is the works of Master Zhang Guangqin and another from his son, Zhang Luhua. There are also the Yantai Convention publications in 2007 and 2009 which featured some of the other artists from this school.

I have yet to find a publication devoted to the Yue School (粤) in Guangdong.

Of course, you may come across various articles printed in journals and magazines such as the ICSBS Journal and Arts of Asia, etc on an ad hoc basis.

In addition to the above, there are also 2 younger schools in China, namely the Qin School (秦) in Shanxi (陕西) headed by Zhang Tieshan (张铁山) and also the Jin School (晋) by Duo Shanling (多山岭) in Shanxi (山西). Both Zhang and Duo are former students of Wang Xisan.

For websites on thesse inside painters, the easiest way is to do a search in Chinese using the Chinese search engine Baidu. (www.baidu.com). But of course, most of these websites will be in Chinese with a few comes with an English version.

However, if you are using Google Chrome browser, there is a translation feature that will be triggered whenever a web page in foreign language is accessed. Alteratively, you can also use some web translation tools such as Google translation, etc.

Hope this helps.

I guess this question goes mostly to Richard as he seems to have the largest library of books and other materials, but to anyone who can give more info... I have the CIPMA and the Wang Zi Yong books (both hard copy and scanned, thanks to Peter!!) but they are heavily concentrated on Ji school (for obvious reasons, as they are both from the Wang Xisan family).  In addition, while "New Look..." (also thanks to Peter) has more reference to Beijing (Jing School) the material is obviously dated, given the 1990 publishing date.  I would like to learn more about the Jing school in particular, and find ANY additional reference or documentation about the Yue and Lu schools.  Can any of you share names and titles, authors of any books, websites, both in English and Chinese, and written here in English and Chinese characters? 

Thanks!
