Vertical Chinese text in Italic and bold with uplatex

Question

I want to typeset some ancient writings in Chinese, but there is no derictly class of document to use. Then I try uplatex. I create a sim.map file whose content is:

urml        UniGB-UTF16-H   simsun.ttc
urmlv       UniGB-UTF16-V   simsun.ttc
ugbm        UniGB-UTF16-H   simhei.ttf
ugbmv       UniGB-UTF16-V   simhei.ttf

uprml-h     UniGB-UTF16-H   simsun.ttc
uprml-v     UniGB-UTF16-V   simsun.ttc
upgbm-h     UniGB-UTF16-H   simhei.ttf
upgbm-v     UniGB-UTF16-V   simhei.ttf
uprml-hq    UniGB-UCS2-H    simsun.ttc
upgbm-hq    UniGB-UCS2-V    simhei.ttf

and a try.tex file whose content is:

\documentclass[a4paper]{utbook}
\begin{document}
\textbf{天地人和}，天地人和，\textit{天地人和}。
\end{document}

Then use the following code to get pdf:

uplatex try && dvipdfmx -f sim.map try

As you can see, \textbf works but textit does not. What should I do to get \textit works?

Update

If I use the pxchfon package, then the try.tex file is:

\documentclass[a4paper]{utbook}
\usepackage[noalphabet]{pxchfon}
\setminchofont[0]{simsun.ttc} 
\setgothicfont[0]{simkai.ttf} 
\begin{document}
\textbf{天地人和}，天地人和，\textit{天地人和}。
\end{document}

And the output is:

It seems that \textit does not work as well.

Answer 1

Hmmm, have a look at the output:

Code:

%!TEX program = xelatex
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8
\documentclass[UTF8, nofonts]{ctexart}
\setCJKmainfont[RawFeature={vertical:+vert:+vhal},BoldFont=Adobe Heiti Std,ItalicFont=Adobe Kaiti Std]
  {Adobe Song Std}
\setCJKsansfont[RawFeature={vertical:+vert:+vhal}]{Adobe Heiti Std}
\setCJKmonofont[RawFeature={vertical:+vert:+vhal}]{Adobe Fangsong Std}

\usepackage{atbegshi}
\AtBeginShipout{%
  \global\setbox\AtBeginShipoutBox\vbox{%
    \special{pdf: put @thispage <</Rotate 90>>}%
    \box\AtBeginShipoutBox
  }%
}%
\begin{document}
\textbf{天地玄黃}，\textit{宇宙洪荒}。日月盈昃，辰宿列張。
\end{document}

UPDATE

The :vhal option will let punctuation at the end of line out of alignment. Thus, do not use it.

%!TEX program = xelatex
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8
\documentclass[UTF8, nofonts]{ctexart}
\setCJKmainfont[RawFeature={vertical:+vert},BoldFont=Adobe Heiti Std,ItalicFont=Adobe Kaiti Std]
  {Adobe Song Std}
\setCJKsansfont[RawFeature={vertical:+vert}]{Adobe Heiti Std}
\setCJKmonofont[RawFeature={vertical:+vert}]{Adobe Fangsong Std}
\renewcommand{\thepage}{\Chinese{page}}
\begin{document}
天地玄黃，宇宙洪荒。
日月盈昃，辰宿列張。
寒來暑往，秋收冬藏。
閏餘成歲，律召調陽。
雲騰致雨，露結為霜。
金生麗水，玉出崑岡。
\end{document}
