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. | Systems of artistic genres, evaluative rankings of artists, and identifications of canonical monuments are all versions of classification and categorization.

Herein, we analyzed clumps of pigment from the Qin warriors and discovered that in spite of the structural similarity to Egyptian Blue, the micro-structural morphology of Chinese Purple is very different. | |||
