    Great video as always. I am obsessed with ancient China. It’s nice to know how normal people lived instead of royals and nobles.

    I love the art history videos that you make. The Song dynasty was a fascinating period of cultural development. Thank you so much for explaining this beautiful work of art. I think your video is just as impressive as the Zhuang Yuan Mansion.

    a video about Manchukuo or the tianjin concessions would be cool. i have lots of photos and videos of tianjin during the 1920s and 1930s on my channel.

    Might I ask what medium was used in the paintings. Were they smaller and hung like Western paintings or were they murals painted onto walls or room dividers?

      Chinese always paint in scrolls.

      It's a scroll painting with pigments such as indigo & cinnabar. This Qing version is also made with Western pigments introduced during the Qing Dynasty
