Calligraphy
Architecture

Painting

The correct answer is: Calligraphy

The art of the Tang dynasty is best known for calligraphy because of popularization during that time. The Tang dynasty was known for promoting a strong presence of high culture and the Arts. Calligraphy became highly esteemed and literati men would collect works from the most famous calligraphers of that time. Architecture and painting also saw advancements during this period, but they were never as highly favoured or respected as calligraphy. Sculpture was completely overshadowed by the importance of calligraphy and was virtually non-existent in terms of fine art.
