The Jing Hao Forum (henceforth called Forum) is an online academic journal plus discussion forum devoted to the study of pre-modern Chinese painting, especially the shanshui (“mountain-and-river” or “landscape”) genre, but studies of other genres are welcome as well. The preferred time period is during or before the Tang-Song era (approx. early 7th-13th century), but works on Yuan, Ming, and early-mid Qing painting with significant discussion of Tang-Song or earlier influences will also be considered.
