  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 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.

Systems of artistic genres, evaluative rankings of artists, and identifications of canonical monuments are all versions of classification and categorization. The identification of canonical objects and forms operated through evolving systems of preservation, collecting, transmission, and dissemination, involving physical monuments, institutions, texts, and publications, from early versions down to modern era museums and art-historical surveys.
