The profound impact of the  wenfang sibao  upon Song literati culture manifested itself in numerous ways, ranging from enriching connoisseurship and esthetic appreciation to the perpetuation of artistic beauty. Rigorous searches for esthetic artifacts found outside of China by Song literati not only posed challenges to the eminent position of  wenfang sibao  originating in the Southern Tang, but also necessitated the rethinking of what  Huayi zhibian , Sino-barbarian dichotomy, exactly meant in Song China.
