What role does poetry, calligraphy and painting play in the works?

The functions of poetry, calligraphy and painting in works are mutual concession, mutual selection and mutual supplement.

In the tradition of China, poetry, calligraphy, painting and publication are four independent forms of artistic expression. But after the Jin, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, these four forms were completely integrated. China traditional art perfectly combines the four with its unique form and becomes the basic form of Chinese painting, among which literati painting is the representative. Poetry, calligraphy, painting and seal are reconstructed into a new and inseparable special word, which, like "Chyi Chin and Shu Hua", has become a cultural symbol, pointing directly at the life and aesthetic pursuit of the literati class.

The combination of poetry, calligraphy, painting and seal is gradually formed in the development of Chinese painting. Language, as an artistic language form of literature, can best show its artistic function. Calligraphy and painting pay attention to "poetry, calligraphy and painting". The perfect combination of poetry, calligraphy, painting and seal is the symbol of the maturity of China literati painting and the highest level of China art.
