Painters must be recommended or tested before they can enter the painting academy. Once they become painters in the Academy, they enjoy high status and generous treatment. These measures are also conducive to the painter to concentrate on painting. Therefore, many works with huge projects and rich contents were completed in this institute. In order to improve students' painting level, the Academy has also stipulated a series of examination and promotion systems. It is also well-deserved to regard the Hanlin Painting Academy in Song Dynasty as the earliest academy of fine arts in the world. The Academy of Painting and the Academy of Painting often hold grade examinations. I often use poetic eyes or abstract sentences to do test questions.

After the flower-and-bird painting in the courtyard, the "expensive" style initiated by Huang Jiashu and Huang Quan is the normal state, and the painting style of Huang School is rich and colorful, which is most suitable for court decoration and beautification and has become the selected program of the academy for hundreds of years. There were two schools of landscape painting in the early Song Dynasty, among which the northern school was represented by Li Cheng and Fan Kuan, and Li Chengshan painted Qilu Cold Forest and Ye Ping. His style of painting is chic, his brushwork is outstanding, and he makes good use of light ink, which is known as cherishing ink as gold. Fan Kuan is good at painting mountains and rivers, and has a strong and old style, and his ink color is deep and thick.

They all developed and enriched different aspects of Hao Jing and Guan Tong's northern painting school. Jiangnan School, represented by Dong Yuan and Ju Ran, had little influence in this period. After these great landscape painters reached their peak, Li Cheng died and Fan Kuan died. There is always a successor, Xu Daoning.

Su Shi was good at painting ink bamboo and strange stones, put forward the general idea of literati painting and became an advocate of literati painting. Since then, literati painting has become an independent painting school opposite to academic painting, and his rise is the embodiment of literati's independent consciousness in the field of painting. In ancient times, in order to express their elegance, exquisiteness and pride, they often used traditional plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum as painting themes. At this stage, calligraphy, painting and other artistic activities are frequent and active. Famous paintings are popular, and literati often get together to talk about painting and calligraphy.

I was also the first master of flower-and-bird painting. Song Huizong's paintings are vivid, and the bird's eyes stained with raw lacquer are lively. This painting style continued until the early Southern Song Dynasty. During the Qing Dynasty in Hui Zong, the Forbidden City had a very rich collection of paintings and calligraphy, as well as collectors of many officials and scholars. Xiaoxiang wonders map reflects the grand occasion of the palace collection at that time. After the Jing Nan Rebellion, Bianjing was plundered by nomadic people, some painters were taken to the north, and many palace paintings were scattered there, which had a considerable impact on the development of painting in the areas ruled by the Jin Dynasty. In addition, a large number of painters fled to Jiangnan, which became the backbone of the Gaozong Painting Academy in the Southern Song Dynasty and promoted the development of Jiangnan painting. The Southern Song Dynasty after Xiaozong was the fourth stage of painting development in Song Dynasty. The influence of patriotism and the restoration of the complex of rivers and mountains left a deep impression on this painting. During Guangzong and Ningzong periods, landscape painting changed obviously after Li Tang, and the representative painters were Liu Songnian, Ma Yuan, Xia Gui and others.

Palace painting has been highly developed on the basis of the prosperity of painting in the whole society, and its artistic achievements can not be ignored. While painting has made brilliant achievements, the art of calligraphy in Song Dynasty also shines brilliantly. In the early Song Dynasty, Hanlin Bookstore was established. After three years of Chunhua, Emperor Taizong ordered the imperial palace calligraphy to be incorporated into the four generals of Zhongxing, and promoted it, which formed the prosperity of paste learning. It greatly promoted the development of running script and the formation of friendly calligraphy style. China quickly developed into the Song Dynasty, which, contrary to the smoothness and neatness of the Tang Dynasty, paid attention to the free and easy style of calligraphers, standardized the beautiful lyrical style of calligraphy, and emphasized the charm of calligraphy. Calligraphy has become an expression of human artistic emotion, in which the calligrapher's spiritual charm and cultural interest are perfectly expressed. Calligraphy in Song Dynasty has always been said by Su, Huang, Mi and Cai, and it is considered as a typical representative of the development level of calligraphy in Song Dynasty. Su Shi, a genius in the cultural history of China, established the calligraphy style of Song Dynasty. It is pointed out that I have created my book, and the characters are born of books. Calligraphy embodies the author's knowledge and conveys personal interests. If calligraphy wants to achieve innovation, it must be impossible and unintentional, that is, it must be innovative, not practicing the ancients, not being Yoga Yu, but having skills. Su Shi's calligraphy style is ups and downs, and he can always find another way. He is naive and interesting, sometimes simple and dignified, sometimes bold and unrestrained, and sometimes messy. His regular script is tight inside and sparse outside, which is dangerous and changeable.

Whether Cai refers to Cai Jing or Cai Xiang has always been controversial. Some scholars believe that Cai among the four schools refers to Cai Xiang. : I was the first at that time, and Injong liked it very much. It can be seen that calligraphy was valued in the society at that time, appreciated by scholars, and even ranked first, so it was well-deserved to include Cai Jing in Song Sijia. However, some scholars think that Cai refers to Cai Jing, because Cai Jing's reputation is so bad that it is marked by Cai Xiang. According to the order of Su, Huang, Mi and Cai, it is reasonable that Cai Jing ranks behind the top three and comes last, while Cai Xiang is dead.
