Explain how art and technology were used: Throughout Chinas long ancient
history, Chinese art has evolved in various ways covering different techniques
and media such as bronze, ceramics, ink, jade, lacquer, and textile. Chinas
diverse culture and the neighboring countries cultures have influenced Chinese
art for many years. In addition, many philosophers, religious figures and
political leaders also impacted the Chinese art throughout Chinas history. Chinese arts can largely be broken into various time periods by the ruling
dynasties of China. Qing Dynasty, also known as Manchu Dynasty, was the most
recent ruling dynasty of China, ruling from 1644 to 1912. Qing Dynasty art is
