Setting aside the clouds of history, paintings of different styles and varied contents record the vicissitudes of the Chinese nation. But paper has a lifespan of a thousand years, and silk has a lifespan of eight hundred. Today, many ancient paintings have already entered their twilight years. In order to rescue and protect the fine works of ancient paintings, the "Chinese Painting Series of Ancient Dynasties", a major national cultural project, was born.

General Secretary Xi Jinping has given full support to the "Great Series of Chinese Paintings of All Ages" and has been always concerned about it. He has personally led and promoted every key point and every critical period of the project.

The compilation work of "Chinese Painting Series of Past Dynasties" began with the compilation of Song Dynasty paintings. In 2005, with the direct concern of Xi Jinping, the project was determined to be "The Complete Collection of Song Dynasty Paintings". The project team began to use the latest technologies such as photography and printing to collect and organize high-quality Song paintings scattered around the world.

In 2010, most of the Song Dynasty paintings collected by public cultural and museum institutions at home and abroad were gathered together, and the "Complete Collection of Song Dynasty Paintings" was published more than halfway as planned. In order to present the full picture of Chinese painting to everyone, the project team decided to compile the "Chinese Painting Series of Successive Dynasties".

In September 2010, Xi Jinping made important instructions: "I am very happy to learn that the publication of "The Complete Collection of Song Dynasty Paintings" is progressing smoothly. The next step is to publish the "Comprehensive Series of Chinese Paintings". We can actively report it to relevant departments and strive to win over all parties. Fang supports.”

This important instruction pointed out the direction for the project team. As a result, the more ambitious "Chinese Painting Series of Successive Dynasties" project was officially launched. Following the "Complete Collection of Song Dynasty Paintings", the compilation of "Complete Collection of Pre-Qin, Han and Tang Dynasty Paintings", "Complete Collection of Yuan Dynasty Paintings", "Complete Collection of Ming Dynasty Paintings" and "Complete Collection of Qing Dynasty Paintings" began immediately.

After nearly 20 years of research, the cultural project "The Great Series of Chinese Paintings of All Ages" has compiled and published 60 volumes and 226 books, including 12,405 ancient Chinese paintings from home and abroad.

The national treasure has been re-glorified, and the emperor has a grand view. "The Great Series of Chinese Paintings of the Past Dynasties" is a great collection that records the glorious history of Chinese civilization. The Chinese cultural heritage is continuing to flourish and last forever, providing strong spiritual power to promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
