The nearly four hundred years from the Five Dynasties to the Southern Song Dynasty was a period when famous works such as "Night Banquet of Han Xizai", "Traveling in Mountains and Rivers", "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", and "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" emerged. It was also a special and critical stage in the history of Chinese painting.
More and more painters broke away from the collective creation of temple and palace murals, and a new interactive relationship was formed between murals and scroll paintings; the emergence of hanging scrolls and the exploration of hand scroll forms gave birth to far-reaching composition styles and viewing methods; the increasingly refined divisions of painting implied further specialization of painting practice; the deep involvement of the central and local governments led to the administrative and institutionalization of painting creation, and thus formed a comprehensive court painting system that had never appeared in Chinese history; the nascent literati painting played an increasingly important role, and its aesthetic concepts influenced court tastes and the style of religious paintings, paving the way for it to eventually become the mainstream of Chinese painting.
This book is a new masterpiece by the famous art historian Wu Hung. It continues the writing ideas of "Chinese Painting: Ancient Times to the Tang Dynasty", absorbs the recent research results of archaeological art, focuses on various types of paintings and their media characteristics from the Five Dynasties to the Southern Song Dynasty, pays attention to painting practices and cross-regional exchanges under diverse backgrounds, and strives to outline a more comprehensive and three-dimensional development context of Chinese painting, telling a new story of Chinese painting in multiple dimensions.
