The period known as the Northern Dynasties(439-581)was one of the most tumultuous in Chinese history,yet it was also an era marked by extraordinary openness,diversity,mass migrations,and cultural exchanges.Due to the rule of the Xianbei people and that of the ethnic minorities greatly influenced by Xianbei culture,the"participants"in art were significantly different and more complex compared to those in the Southern Dynasties.And in different historical stages of national integration and devel-opment,the arts and culture of the Northern Dynasties were influenced by various"participants,"resulting in obvious transforma-tions.The creation subjects in art consisting of scholars and artisans,undoubtedly determined directly the styles and forms of the art in the Dynasty of Northern Wei(386-534).Moreover,the"patrons"concealed behind the artistic creation and artworkswere ac-tive participants in artistic activities as well,who played an indelible indirect role in the formation and evolution of the art in North-ern Dynasties.
