Art and Painting
Art and painting was
a very important part of Ancient China and was valued by Emperors, their
wives, and just about anybody- rich or poor. In Ancient Chinese art,
animals were used to represent emotions, people, and actions. Horses were
a symbol of speed and high rank, water buffalo symbolised the peasants
and the toil and labour they endured, and flying birds represented freedom.
Here are some beautiful examples of Ancient Chinese art, painting, and
vases or other valuable items. Some of them may take a while to load, but
please wait- they are definitely worth it!
