Art in the ancient world was initially associated with ceremonial ritual but, in time, began featuring subjects related to everyday life and the common people. The Chinese were among the first civilizations to create a narrative of their culture and mythology using different artforms. Portraits of people, landscapes, and sculpture were among the most popular modes of expression for the Chinese people.
