Timeline of Chinese Art history in respect of other ancient cultures, starting from the Chinese Neolithic Age to the Ching Dynasty.
Close-up photo Chinese art history timeline during Chinese Neolithic Age to the Xia, Shang & Zhou dynasties (6000–500 BCE) that preceded the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BCE),with photos of some Chinese artwork during that period.
The Xia Dynasty (2205-1766 BCE) is the legendary, possibly apocryphal first dynasty in traditional Chinese history.
At the same era were the Indus Valley Civilisation (3300–1300 BCE), the Korean Chosŏn Dynasty (Unknown–108 BC), Old Babylon period (2000-1600 BCE), the Assyrian Empire (2500-609 BCE), and the Phonicecian City States (2500–539 BCE).
Some photos from the time-line boards:
Hooked cloud-shaped jade pendant - Hongshan Culture (紅山文化) period (c. 4700-2900 BCE) of Chinese Neolithic Age.
The culture is named after Hongshanhou (紅山後), a site in Hongshan District, Chifeng.
Chinese Neolithic Age earthenware pot with crude blue motifs (6000-2000 BCE).
Round jade pendant - Xia Dynasty (2205-1766 BCE).
Close-up photo Chinese art history timeline during the Ming Dynasty (大明) (1368–1644).
Close-up photo Chinese art history timeline during the Ching Dynasty (大清, Qing) (1644–1912).
The Ching Dynasty was the last imperial dynasty of China, established in 1636 and ruling China from 1644 to 1912. It was preceded by the Ming dynasty and succeeded by the Republic of China.
Bronze Amulet - Shang (商朝) (1600-c.1046 BCE) & Zhou (周朝) (c.1046 BC-256 BCE) dynasties period.
The Shang Dynasty is the earliest dynasty of traditional Chinese history supported by archaeological evidence. Excavation at the Ruins of Yin (near modern-day Anyang), which has been identified as the last Shang capital, uncovered eleven major royal tombs and the foundations of palaces and ritual sites, containing weapons of war and remains from both animal and human sacrifices. Tens of thousands of bronze, jade, stone, bone, and ceramic artifacts were found.
The Zhou Dynasty lasted longer than any other dynasty in Chinese history. The military control of China by the royal house, surnamed Ji (姬), lasted initially from 1046 until 771 BCE for a period known as the Western Zhou and the political sphere of influence it created continued well into Eastern Zhou for another 500 years. Centralized power decreased throughout the Spring and Autumn period until the Warring States period in the last two centuries of the dynasty.
Bronze mirror backing with grapes & auspicious animals motifs - Tang Dynasty (唐朝) (618-907BCE).
Light bluish-green glazed Chrysanthemum-shaped dish - Ko Ware (哥窯) of the Sung (宋朝) (960-1279) & Yuan (元朝) (1271-1368) period.
The Sung Dynasty was an era of Chinese history that began in 960 and continued until 1279. It was founded by Emperor Taizu of Song following his usurpation of the throne of Later Zhou, ending the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. The Sung government was the first in world history to issue banknotes or true paper money nationally and the first Chinese government to establish a permanent standing navy. This dynasty also saw the first known use of gunpowder, as well as the first discernment of true north using a compass.
The Yuan Dynasty was the khanate ruled by the successors of Möngke Khan after the division of the Mongol Empire. In official Chinese histories, the Yuan Dynasty bore the Mandate of Heaven. The dynasty was established by Kublai Khan, yet he placed his grandfather Genghis Khan on the imperial records as the official founder of the dynasty as Taizu. Although the Mongols had ruled territories including modern-day North China for decades, it was not until 1271 that Kublai Khan officially proclaimed the dynasty in the traditional Chinese style, and the conquest was not complete until 1279. His realm was, by this point, isolated from the other khanates and controlled most of present-day China and its surrounding areas, including modern Mongolia.

The Tang Dynasty is generally regarded as a high point in Chinese civilization, and a golden age of cosmopolitan culture. The dynasty was largely a period of progress and stability.
