Who designed the earliest book tickets used by China people?

The earliest book tickets used by China people were made by Guan Zuzhang.

In China, Guan Zuzhang's book ticket is considered as the earliest book ticket in China.

This book ticket published by 19 10 depicts a scholar wearing a square towel, rummaging through the closet, holding a candle and a scroll in his hand, which is very classical in China.

Above Gong Zhitu, there is the word "Guan Zuzhang's Collection of Books", which is elegant and vigorous. According to records, the ticket owner Guan Zuzhang graduated from Rensselaer Institute of Technology in the United States. Although influenced by western culture, he deeply loves China's traditional culture and collection, especially the collection of ancient mirrors, and is also considered as the first person to make and use book tickets in China.

Extended data:

Although the book ticket is small, it is as artistic as printmaking. Its illustrations, rich colors, changeable production techniques, exquisite knife work, smooth lines, water flavor, wood flavor and knife flavor are enough to make people linger, without losing their profound thoughts.

According to the regulations of the International Book and Ticket Union, its creative techniques are divided into four categories: intaglio, relief, lithography and wax printing, with different printing methods, carving materials, knife cutting and expression styles. As far as woodcuts are concerned, there are black and white woodcuts, color matching woodcuts, painted woodcuts and watermark woodcuts, which are colorful.

From the technical point of view, steel and bronze carvings and wood carvings are the most common in early foreign book tickets. The comprehensive application of modern book tickets to techniques is more common. It should be emphasized that the print collection ticket is not a printed matter, but a work of art independently completed by the printmaker through a series of creative processes such as design, plate making and printing with the help of tools, techniques and materials. Usually limited printing, each piece is original.
