Abstract
The Song and Yuan dynasties witnessed the coexistence and transformation of the two kinds of painting base materials. As for the court painting in the Song Dynasty, plain silk is the main base material, and the aesthetics of the painting most reflected the ruler's preferences. Therefore, it was mostly presented in a panoramic realistic style that represented the great rivers and mountains, and the style was neat and gorgeous. Meanwhile, the artistic paintings advocated by Wang Wei used Xuan paper as the base materials to express their ideals and thus made it popular for a while. In the Yuan Dynasty, amateur painters were more accustomed to painting on Xuan paper, which was more affordable and accessible than silk. The style was lyrical and unsophisticated, emphasizing the improvisations of “incorporating calligraphy into painting”. Thus, the number of artists who painted on silk became small. Since the artistic effects shown by paintings on these two kinds of base materials were totally different, the style changed accordingly.
