A History of Chinese Flower and Bird Painting is a pioneering work in Chinese painting history as it combs the development of Chinese flower and bird painting in the history of Chinese painting. This is the result of a whole-hearted cooperation between Mr. Ye Shangqing and Zhejiang People's Fine Arts Publishing House.

Mr. Pan Tianshou wrote A Brief History of Flower and Bird Painting (draft) in the late 1950s, which was surely the research result gained when the and flower and bird painting were first majors advocated of in figure the teaching painting, of ink landscape and colour painting, painting department in the East China Branch of Central Academy of Fine Arts. Today, Mr. Pan Tianshou's student Mr. Ye Shangging's masterpiece A History of Chinese Flower and Bird Painting is about to be published.

Mr. Ye Shangqing's A History of Chinese Flower and Bird Painting focuses on combing and identification. Begun with the discovery of cultural relics and historical materials, and combined with an intentional thinking about the new development of painting behaviour, the combing can further lead us to look at history in an all-round way, and complete the academic clues under the guidance of a new concept of history, which is considered as horizontal analysis. The necessity of identification lies in the accumulation of his own painting experience and the establishment of value judgment, so that he feels responsible to carry forward the academic research results of his time, and endow it with a vertical "metaphysical" spiritual quality. Obviously, it is the cross of the vertical latitude and horizontal longitude that forms a coordinate for the study of history. From sensible experience to rational thinking of historical value, it has gone beyond the painter's experience in a general sense. The root exploration and technical development have become the proposition of A History of Chinese Flower and Bird Painting.
