Sung
Dynasty painting can be classified into four chronological periods.
The first
period was characterized by realism ( 寫實主義
)
with many landscape paintings drawn out with meticulous and vigorous brushstrokes.
Painters of this period included Lee Cheng, Fan Kuan
(
范寬 ) and Dong Yuan.
Later in the 12th century, Yan Wen-Gui (
燕文貴
), Hsu Dao-Ning (
許道寧
),
Gao Ke-Ming ( 高克明
),
Zhai Yuan-Shen ( 翟院深
), Lee Zong-Cheng (
李宗成 ) and Huang
Huai-Yu ( 黃懷玉
) took over this
tradition, but at the same time animal and flower painting experienced a first
highlight in the painting of Hsu Hsi, Hsu Chong-Si ( 徐崇嗣
) and the two
Huangs. Guo Xi ( 郭熙
),
Zhao Chang ( 趙昌
), Tsui Bai (
崔白 ),
Wu Yuan-Yu ( 吳元瑜
) and Yi
Yuan-Ji ( 易元吉
) perfected these
styles with their pure and soft and refined beauty.
