The films in this series depict various Chinese art forms through demonstrations by skilled artisans (including Weng himself in the painting episodes), as well as shots of art objects similar to those in the Li Sumin films. The films were filmed in the early 1950s. Each film runs approximately 10 minutes long and features color footage shot silently and English-language narration. The collection contains master picture and sound elements for five of the seven listed films (excepting Folk Dances and Dressmaking), prints for all seven films, and additional sound elements and original footage for many of the films. Titles include in this series: Chinese Shadow Play/皮影; Chinese Jade Carving/玉雕; Two Chinese Dances/Chinese Folk Dances/民族舞蹈; Painting the Chinese Landscape/山水画; Painting the Chinese Figure/人物画; Chinese Dressmaking/服装工艺; Chinese Firecrackers/焰火鞭炮.
