Features: The Compendium of Chinese Landscape Painting presents a relatively complete and systematic overview of the vibrant history of landscape painting through a combination of images and text. It not only showcases the emergence and evolution of landscape painting but also traces the trajectories of artists and artistic works associated with it. Moreover, it delves into the cultural soil on which landscape painting thrives and explores the ever-evolving subtle relationship between generations of people who need landscape painting and the art form itself. For ease of reading and use, the entire work is organized along the timeline of landscape painting's development as the vertical axis and the fluctuations in its value as the horizontal axis, divided into thirty-four volumes. Each volume stands as an independent chapter while interconnecting and resonating with one another. This book, A Slice of Jiangnan, is the third volume, primarily focusing on the style and characteristics of landscape painting during the Five Dynasties and Southern Tang periods.
