The poems of Tang and the poetry of Sung are both the most know featurefor those two dynasties. However, Sung dedicated not only the fruitful outcome of poetry, but also the efforts and achievements on the poetry painiting, which promoted the achievements of art in Sung reaching the highest peak ever. For such great prevalence of Poetry Panting in Sung, most of the devotions were from the essences of various dynasties. In fact, the discussion of Poetry Panting and the interpretation of Poetry Panting had always attracted the royals, scholars and civilians of various dynasties. However, through the wars, division and exchange of the regimens of Ancient China, several destructions had came to the middle land art, yet some of the Poetry Painters still had successfully made some contribution thank to the preservation of a few their master pieces. According to the Xuanhe shupu and the Xuanhe huapu, the catalogs of the calligraphy and paintion which were edited by the Hui-tsung¡¦s inner court of the Northern Song Dynasty, the collected master pieces were achieved more than 7600. Yet with the time flows, most of the master pieces were damaged by the difficult preservation of the silk paper, and the well-preserved works of the Northern Song Dynasty were even less than 100 pieces. This result indicates the difficulty on researching Poetry Panting of this period. Although the remaining works are a small part to compare from the collections of the time, yet the rich contents were the most fascinating ever existed in the calligraphy and painiting history. It also shows that the reason for Song Period to be mentioned as the peak of the calligraphy and painting history, were not only the perfect harmony of the freehand brushwork, the realistic painting, and the expression of the idealism, but also the mature of the highly developed Art techniques during that period, which is also a part of this research.
