The Chinese notion of time has mostly been treated as an abstraction extrapolated from various early texts, leading some scholars to make some assertions about the kind of time concept that dominates Chinese thinking. In an illustrated silk manuscript uncovered from a basket case from a tomb at Zidanku, Changsha, ca. 300 BCE, the design is essentially a calendric chronograph. Manipulation of time remains a key function of early Chinese art. | The Chinese notion of time has mostly been treated as an abstraction extrapolated from various early texts, leading some scholars to make some assertions about the kind of time concept that dominates Chinese thinking.

The use of shells as a medium for painting is an exceptionally rare discovery in archaeology, representing a art form that has been largely overlooked. In this study, we present two shell paintings of the Warring States period (476–221 BCE) discovered in Zhongshan State, Hebei, China. Employing various techniques, including microscopic observation, computed tomography (CT), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), multispectral imaging, and Raman spectroscopy, we non-destructively unveil the exquisite images obscured by soil and reveal the unparalleled shallow relief technique employed in their creation. | |||
