Description
The chart is an interactive lineage map. Qinglü shanshui sits at the center, on a timeline that runs from older movements at the top to newer ones at the bottom. The movements that influenced it appear above it, any parallel movements it developed alongside sit on its own row, and the movements it later influenced appear below. Every line is a real, cited connection between two movements: a solid line is an influence historians broadly agree on, and a dashed line is an indirect, parallel, or contested link.
For Qinglü shanshui (Tang Dynasty – Present), it traces one movement that shaped it, a well-established link: Shanshui; it runs alongside one parallel movement, an indirect or contested link: the Southern School.
Blue-green shan shui (simplified Chinese: 青绿山水; traditional Chinese: 青綠山水; pinyin: qīnglǜ shānshuǐ; literally 'blue-green mountain-water') is a variety of shan shui, a style of Chinese painting that primarily depicts scenery. It tends to refer to an "ancient style" rather than modern ones. The main colours of the paintings are blues and greens, and in the early period it was painted using mineral dyes. This style was first formulated by Li Sixun (simplified Chinese: 李思训; traditional Chinese: 李思訓; pinyin: Lǐ Sī-Xùn), a general, politician, and famous painter in the Tang dynasty. Read more ↗
