An Overview of the Achievements of Modern Research on the Flying Shadow Pavilion Pictorial

The current academic research on the Dian Shi Zhai Pictorial founded in 1884 has been perfected, but there is very little research on the Flying Shadow Pavilion Pictorial, which can be said to be derived from Dian Shi Zhai Pictorial terms of both content and form, and which was founded by the Haiist painter Wu Youru in 1890 in order to reward the increasing number of admirers, but it is still in the initial stage. Flying Shadow Pavilion Pictorial consisted of four parts: pictures of ladies in Shanghai costumes, news about current affairs, pictures of animals, and compilations of women, each of which was accompanied by the then popular notebooks, which were popular at the time among the then readers because of the matching of pictures with text and the mixing of narratives and discussions. This paper takes Flying Shadow Pavilion Pictorial as the main object, summarizes the existing literature about Flying Shadow Pavilion Pictorial, points out the deficiencies of the current research on this basis, and points out the development trend of Flying Shadow Pavilion Pictorial in the future research.
