In the early Yuan Dynasty, in order to consolidate political power, the rulers adopted a series of measures to restore production and develop economy, which revived and developed traditional arts and crafts. The Yuan Dynasty respected Tibetan Buddhism as the state religion, and the introduction of Brahma images and the absorption of other national cultures brought great changes or refraction to the arts and crafts of the Yuan Dynasty. In order to meet the needs of luxury life and spiritual enjoyment, the rulers organized craftsmen from all walks of life captured in the war in Europe, Arabia, Xixia, Jin and Southern Song Dynasty to form a huge government-run handicraft industry to serve the royal family. Craftsman's books can be handed down from generation to generation, and children can inherit their father's business, which is convenient for accumulating technical experience and improving their skills, so that government-run handicrafts are full of talents and exquisite skills, and a large number of high-end handicrafts and consumer goods are produced, reflecting the development of arts and crafts of yuan dynasty.
