Features: Continuing the development of China during the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Song, Liao, Jin, and Yuan periods also achieved fruitful results in the cultural field. Due to different political situations and economic progress, they presented distinct phased characteristics. During this period, the mutual competition among court art, scholar art, and folk art propelled the comprehensive development of Chinese art.
