Artistic History of China Chinese civilization began 3000 years before the birth of Christ and can lay claim as being the oldest continuous culture in the world. The art of painting is recorded in Chinese culture seven centuries before the birth of Christ. The first Chinese painter was a woman by the name of Lei (lah- EE) and the sister of emperor Shun (2255 to 2205 B.C.)
