Features: Appreciating and learning Chinese painting cannot be separated from understanding the classic works in the history of painting. The history of Chinese painting is long and profound. Due to various reasons, the ancient paintings that have been passed down to this day are not only extremely rare in number but also scattered across the world. For this reason, we have compiled this series of "Treasures Online," reclassifying the works according to elements such as painting themes, styles, and techniques, gathering the national treasure-level masterpieces of Chinese painting history into one collection. These works have been carefully printed and enlarged to their original size, providing learners with a first-class replica of the originals. Additionally, we have provided detailed introductions and analyses of each masterpiece included in the book, narrating the stories behind these treasures that have been passed down through the centuries, and inserting photographs and materials of related masterpieces, offering readers who love Chinese art rich sources for appreciation and reference. The ancient paintings included in this book are works from the "Treasures Exhibition" jointly held by the three major museums—the Palace Museum, the Liaoning Museum, and the Shanghai Museum—in Shanghai. The works were photographed and printed from the original copies.
