China was a highly literate society that greatly valued poetry and brush-written calligraphy, which along with painting, were called the Three Perfections, reflecting the esteemed position of the arts in Chinese life.

=====Chinese Painting=====

[https://www.comuseum.com/painting/ by China Online Museum]

The history of Chinese painting can be compared to a symphony. The styles and traditions in figure, landscape, and bird-and-flower painting have formed themes that continue to blend to this day into a single piece of music. Painters through the ages have made up this “orchestra,” composing and performing many movements and variations within this tradition.

=====Chinese Art Prints - History, Technique and Printmaking Schools=====

[https://www.artelino.com/articles/chinese_prints.asp by artelino]

The Chinese invented paper and printing long before the Europeans. Chinese woodblock printing boasts a rich tradition spanning over 2,000 years. However, Chinese print artists have remained relatively absent from the international art scene until recent decades. This is now beginning to change.

=====China, 1400–1600 A.D.=====

[https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/ht/08/eac.html by Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History]

The establishment of the Ming dynasty in 1368 marks the return of native rule over all of China for the first time in centuries. An interest in cultural restoration characterizes the first part of the dynasty, when the court sets the style for ceramics, lacquers, textiles, painting, and other arts.

=====Neolithic Period in China=====

[https://www.metmuseum.org/essays/neolithic-period-in-china by Department of Asian Art 1/10/04 THE MET]

The Neolithic period, which began in China around 10,000 B.C. and concluded with the introduction of metallurgy about 8,000 years later, was characterized by the development of settled communities that relied primarily on farming and domesticated animals rather than hunting and gathering. In China, as in other areas of the world, Neolithic settlements grew up along the main river systems. Those that dominate the geography of China are the Yellow (central and northern China) and the Yangzi (southern and eastern China).
