This genre relies on tools like rulers to represent architectural details and structures accurately. Such technical consideration and mechanical perfection linked this painting category with the builder's art, which led to the belittling of Chinese elites and eventually won the admiration of Mongol patrons. Yu argues that painters in the Yuan dynasty made new efforts towards a unique modular system and an unsurpassable plain-drawing tradition. She argues that these two strategies made architectural paintings in the Yuan dynasty entirely different from their predecessors, as well as making the art form extremely difficult for subsequent painters to imitate. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leqi Yu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9888754238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789888754236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hong Kong University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.06w x 0.71d","brand":"Leqi Yu","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44078951923967,"sku":"9789888754236","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6adc53e2-efda-4cbf-9ef5-83914ef70287.jpg?v=1685478435","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/painting-architecture-leqi-yu-9789888754236","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
