During the Ming Period (1368–1644), traditional values and conservative thinking produced generations of court painters, but artistic exploration was also supported outside the court.
The Qing Period (1644–1912) produced outstanding artists and artistic techniques, despite increasing conservatism. Schools of painting emerged, based on locations such as Yangzhou and Nanjing.
With the emergence of the People’s Republic of China in 1949 came an entirely new aesthetic, dictated by the government and based on the art of the Soviet Union. Later artists, however, have embraced contemporary and abstract artistic ideals of the West.

The Warring States period (481/403 BCE - 221 BCE) describes the three centuries when various rival Chinese states battled viciously for territorial advantage and dominance.
