Is brush painting a national painting?

It belongs to Chinese painting.

Working-brush painting, known in ancient times as "fine painting" and "work painting", is a type of Chinese painting that is neat and meticulous, as opposed to "writing". It is a way of painting with fine brushwork on silk, paper and other materials, outlining with lines and applying colors. Work brush painting is characterized by fine drawing, accurate modeling, and emphasis on the rhythm of the line, which distinguishes it from traditional Chinese brushwork and miniaturized brushwork, as well as from Western realistic painting.

Working-brush painting can be roughly divided into working-brush white drawing, working-brush light color, working-brush heavy color and boneless working-brush according to the technique, and according to the content of the expression can be divided into working-brush landscape, working-brush birds and flowers, and working-brush figures. In ancient times, the representative painters of the work-brush painting are Gu Kaizhi, Huang Chyuan and Zhao Ji, etc. In modern times, the painters who are good at work-brush painting are He Jiaying, etc.
