Features: Ancient Chinese figure painting, from the profoundly symbolic figures on painted pottery to the figures in Warring States and Han dynasty silk paintings, as well as the figures on Han stone reliefs that combine both painting and sculpture, are mostly created by unknown artists. During the Six Dynasties period, famous painters such as Gu Kaizhi, Lu Tanwei, and Zhang Sengyou began to appear, some of whom signed their works or were recorded, clearly identifying the authors of the paintings.
