Mural painting is like an inexhaustible encyclopedia, and Shanxi Province boasts the most abundant mural paintings in China, second only to the Dunhuang Mural in Gansu Province. Shanxi has mural paintings that could date back to the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220). The following dynasties from the Northern Dynasty (220-580) to the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) also witnessed the style's development. The styles of Shanxi murals in different phases not only embody the painting characteristics of various periods, but also have a certain value for artistic, social and religious research.
