2.Conclusion and perspective for further study
(1)Though most of the narrative paintings follow the regular patterns of motifs according to the stories depicted, there are some which lack some regular patterns or have some new additional patterns.
(2)Various subjects and patterns are considered to have been introduced to local areas by fan paintings.
(3)Styles of large paintings in this period many of which have been lost are conjectured to some extent by studying the depicted paintings in scrolls and others.
(4)Most of the masterpeices of Buddhist sculpture in the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries have traditional styles.
(5)Further study of fan paintings and depicted paintings in expected to reveal the situation of the paintings in this period more clearly.
(6)Study of the masks is expected to reveal a part of the movement of sculptors in fifteenth to eighteenth centuries.
