| Summary: | Chinese artists, active from the Tang dynasty to Northern Song dynasty,
created famous paintings including Fu-lin musical and dancing scenes; as e.
g. Yan Liben, Wu Daozi and Li Gonglin. The most of these works are
unfortunately lost; thus, we have information only from written descriptions
to reconstruct them. Some researchers identify Fu-lin with the Byzantines;
others disagree with this interpretation. Therefore, it is worthwhile to
study whether the musical and dance motifs that referred to Fu-lin and were
used by the above mentioned Chinese artists and literati can be identified
with Byzantine elements and their performers with Byzantines ones. |
