Northern grassland painting school

Features: In the history of China fine arts, there are many schools named after regions, such as Shanghai School and Lingnan School. However, in history, no one has ever called the northern minority grassland painters "China Northern Grassland School". It was not until the early 1980s that art historians mentioned the "Northern Grassland School" when talking about Qidan paintings. Due to historical reasons, the concept of "Northern Grassland Painting School" has not been fully expounded and established in the history of China painting, but it is an objective existence. Xuanhe Painting Spectrum records 65 works of Hu Xuan, saying that he is "good at painting horses". "He lives in Qionglu tribe, with flags and arrows, or grazing water plants, or hunting, but the cold weather in Hu and the flat sand can make the scenery outside the Great Wall desolate." Although few traces of this painting school have survived to this day, we can still feel the broad vision, rich and unique background and numerous subject areas of the northern grassland in their works from these discussions and Hu Xuan's "Zhuo Xie Tu", "Desert Encircling Map", "Shooting Ride Map", "Flying Ride Map" and "Canjian Map".
