The history of comics

The word "cartoon" originated in the Northern Song Dynasty in China. The original usage of the word "cartoon" is what Huang Yidao, a scholar and painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, said in Yu Jing Sheng Ji: "The Yellow River belongs to Taohe River, and cartoonists often draw water from their mouths to beg for fish." The cartoon here is the name of a waterfowl, because it is very chic when fishing, like painting on the water.

1925 In May, Literature Weekly serialized Feng Zikai's paintings and marked them as cartoons, which was the first work called cartoons in China.

Western comics originated in Britain, and Du Miai, a French painter in the19th century, made the best achievement in the history of western comics.

As a branch of painting art, comics have evolved into three forms today, namely, satirical traditional comics, narrative comics or comic books, and exploratory avant-garde comics.
