这是一部全面系统、视角独特、观点新颖的中国印章发展与艺术风格史通论。全书图文并茂，以历代印章的发展为主线，置于正直制度、文字演变、社会生活的大背景中进行多侧面、多角度、多层次的论述。文中贯穿了作者数十年来形成的有关中国印章史研究的一些重要学术结论，兼具通俗性和可读性。全书文字22万，共收1450件彩图，大部分为首次公开发表，所选印例皆为作者精心遴选自外博物馆的珍贵藏品（印花采用原蜕制版并均为原大，另标尺寸者除外），具有断代标准品和艺术风格代表作的价值。
本书从《列异传》、《搜神记》、《幽明录》、《世说新语》等汉魏六朝(公元前206—公元589年)小说中遴选90篇，展示了中国古代小说童年期的大致面貌。 汉魏六朝小说大致可分为三种，类是记叙神、仙、鬼、怪的志怪书，如《列异传》、《搜神记》等等，第二类记叙历史人物事件但掺杂了较多怪诞无稽的内容，有人称它们为杂史杂传，如《燕丹子》、《汉武故事》等等，第三类是记叙当时名士的卓然不群的举止言行的志人书，如《世说新语》等等。这些古小说除杂史杂传的篇幅较长之外，大都是丛残小语，故事粗陈梗概，有的还谈不上是故事。它们文字简古，但文约而事丰，用极简练的文字就可以叙说极复杂的事物。 汉魏六朝小说很早就流传到国外。本书选用的英文译本，系中国著名的文学翻译家杨宪益、戴乃迭夫妇所译。这是当今众多英译本中的一种。
《老子（汉俄对照）》附有长沙马王堆汉墓帛书《老子》及湖北郭店简书《老子》。《老子（汉俄对照）》是中国国家重点出版项目《大中华文库》多语种项目之一。《老子》，又名《道德经》，为中国古代伟大的哲学家、思想家老子所著，全书共81章。 《老子》是老子哲学思想的集中体现，其内容博大精深，涉及自然、社会、人生的各个方面，系统地阐明了老子的宇宙观、政治观和认识论。 “道”是老子哲学思想的基本范畴，老子认为，“道”是宇宙的本源，它独立于任何其他事物之外，而且不断变化，周而复始；而“德”则是“道”的延伸，是“道”在人生、社会和政治生活中的具体体现。 《老子》是道家经典，也是中国传统文化中首屈一指的经典著作。自问世以来，受到历代高度的重视和全世界的广泛关注。据不完全统计，迄今为止，《老子
从印鉴的起源开始，《历史与艺术：中国印章（英文版）》将系统梳理中国印鉴自商周以来的发展历程，展现各种印鉴的形态，并从中国传统文化的角度去观照印鉴背后的内涵和文化，如印鉴与书法、绘画的关系，与中国古代职官制度甚至与历史考古的关系等。《历史与艺术：中国印章（英文版）》将以活泼生动、富有趣味的语言和故事来贯穿对印鉴历史和知识的叙述，以1000幅左右的精美的印鉴实物图片展示给读者，达到图文互释的作用。《历史与艺术：中国印章（英文版）》在资料的丰富、论述的祥细、制作的精美等方面，将是对现有关于印鉴方面图书的一个突破。

中国是早发明养蚕、缫丝、织绸的国家。而用彩色丝线在丝织物上绣成图案的刺绣工艺．大约在公元前15世纪的商代就已出现。最早的刺绣工艺主要用于服饰，大约在公元10世纪的宋代，刺绣工艺逐渐向具有观赏性的艺术品方向发展，到明、清(1368—1911年)刺绣艺术成就显著，刺绣工艺形成了不同的艺术流派．苏绣、粤绣、蜀绣、湘绣名绣争奇斗艳。苏州地处太湖之滨，盛产蚕桑．中国经济文化重心从五代（907—960年）朝江南转移，“上有天堂，下有苏杭”的说法亦就是五代时期开始流传的。江南文化经济的繁荣促使苏绣技艺有了长足的进步，苏绣艺术独领风骚，影响深远。今天的苏绣艺术又开创了一个大有作为的新天地。苏绣艺人对传统技艺进行挖掘，加以总结．提高，发展，使苏绣艺术既有传统的文化内涵，又有新时期的时代风貌．苏绣艺术已成为中国工艺美术
