Lianhuanhua

Lianhuanhua are little books from China that have both words and pictures inside! They are like comic books, but they are not colorful like American comics. Instead, they are black-and-white.

Each page has a picture on it that goes along with the story. The pictures are drawn very carefully with lots of detail, so you can understand what is happening even if you can’t read the words.

You might think that they’re just like any other comic book you’ve seen before, but these books are special because they have been around for a very long time! One of the first types of these books was called "storytelling pictures," which were made in the early 1800s.

People in China have liked reading these books for a long time. They have stories about all kinds of things, like heroes fighting bad guys, silly animals doing funny things, and even stories about famous people from history!

So, just remember that lianhuanhua are little black-and-white books that tell stories with pictures and words. They’ve been around for a long time, and people in China really like reading them!
