Traditional Chinese Painting

The four art forms in ancient China are

guqin

, chess， penmanship， and painting. And painting

particularly refers to traditional Chinese painting。 Traditional Chinese painting is done with a brush

dipped into black or colored ink and is painted on silk or

xuan

paper. In ancient China, it was called

“ink—painting”。 In order to distinguish it from Western oil—paintings, the Chinese people term

their works “traditional Chinese painting” （abbreviated to “Chinese painting”）。 The subject

matters of Chinese paintings are typically figures, landscapes， birds and flowers. The drawing skills

and techniques employed by the Chinese painters can be divided into two forms：fine brushwork and

free-hand brushwork。 The artistic characteristics lie in “the writing brush and ink”。 Chinese

painting emphasizes using the shape to convey the feelings of the painter。 Even though a painting is

a finished product， it endlessly conveys a meaning。 In terms of the artistic creation， traditional

Chinese painting is a reflection of the aesthetic consciousness and artistic sentiment of the Chinese

people.
