藝術暢銷書作者顧爺出擊！這一本讓你愛上中國畫▌原本提不起勁，說不清中國畫美在哪？ ▌為何突然開竅？原來，只怪……當時太年輕，終於等到時候了「我已經到了老掉牙的年紀了，可以開始寫中國畫。」──顧爺▌中國畫就是一個酷老頭，總有一天你會愛上他 ▌顧爺帶團穿越時空，認識中國畫的13大IP梗圖給好給滿的藝術脫口秀宋朝人的一天｜唐朝女人出遊穿搭｜古人復活操作指南女史箴圖｜洛神賦｜清明上河圖｜簪花仕女圖｜輞川圖……讓你用笑聲練腹肌的藝術健身房▌不怪中國畫，只是需要頁頁有梗圖的藝術脫口秀？！！《清明上河圖》，只畫了汴京城一小段，卻讓我們high了一千年？《遊春圖》就像是隋代的iPhone 9，為什麼會在1964年忽然問世？《女史箴圖》身為影響人類的100大藝術品，其實是一支「古代MV」？若不看文字，簡直就是古代美女圖卷，誰想得到是教導女人守婦道的女德教材！《洛神賦圖》是一個不折不扣的愛情故事。一個王子愛上妖精，後來反悔，再後來又反悔當初的反悔故事。《簪花仕女圖》中的胖姑娘為何不開心？他們羨慕楊貴妃，但她最後卻落得被愛人賜死的下場。古代女人出門究竟有多麻煩？為了圖方便，虢國夫人竟女扮男裝？《照夜白圖》可不只是一匹馬，原來是唐玄宗名下的一匹「進口超跑」？古代3D電影放在詩人王維面前，根本不值得一提，因為他居然在唐朝就拍了部「韓劇」？！《馬王堆Ｔ型帛畫》出自中國歷史上最著名的屍體，別小看這件衣服，古人死而復生就靠它？為什麼人死了上西天，不是上東天？古人對死亡的理解，不是遊戲結束，而是另一種型態的開始。君王貴族若能搭上往生電梯，找到西王母取得長生不老藥，就是他們夢寐以求的頭等艙機票！別覺得古代人幼稚，歷史上有不少號稱親眼見過西王母的「目擊證人」，甚至還跟他談過戀愛？！頁頁有梗圖……讀著讀著，噗～笑出聲。▌國畫給人「老掉牙」的感覺，下一句該接：「其實不是這樣的……」但顧爺沒打算這麼接話，因為中國畫實在就是個老氣橫秋的東西。他一直有提筆障礙，直到有一天，他突然聽到一個聲音，忽遠忽近對他說：「時候到了，該寫了！」那聲音來自這本書編輯，也是他的好友，當時電話通訊不大好。他開始著手，起初抱著一種嘗試的心態，心想即使寫砸了……也是編輯的責任。但他居然發現寫著寫著開始愛上這老掉牙的東西了，忽然意識到自己已經步入中年。▌年紀到了，遲早愛上「酷老頭」這不是一本「自high」的書，更不想捏著讀者的腮幫子往嘴裡
