Yuan Dynasty, the Middle Ages, paintingAbstract
In the 13th century, China and the West were in different historical periods. The destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty by the Yuan Dynasty in 1279 caused unprecedented difficulties and torture to the intellectuals of the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, the literati paintings of the Yuan Dynasty mostly conveyed the pain of losing the country and their fate through the use of pen and ink. The rulers also used painting to publicize their power, and more literati hermits made a living by painting. In the West, the Middle Ages were the era of religious rule, and the holy portrait was the representative work of medieval painting. The picture focused on propagating doctrines and symbolizing power. At the same time, painting played a significant role in shaping society and had a profound impact on future generations.
