Features: This book is organized in chronological order, discussing various categories such as sculpture, painting, calligraphy, and applied arts. Architectural art should also be included in the scope of art history, but in Chinese school education, it has been treated as a separate category with its own textbooks. By convention, this book does not cover architectural art. The study of art history is always built upon the foundations laid by previous scholars. The use of historical materials and research methods relies on existing achievements, while new archaeological discoveries can provide fresh evidence to enrich and refine our understanding. Therefore, we have written this book standing on the shoulders of giants.
