What does the clue of China's painting development mean?

Chinese painting originated in an ancient and special civilized environment, and the origin of painting can be traced back to the Neolithic Age seven or eight thousand years ago. Primitive potters' paintings on Neolithic painted pottery are the oldest paintings.

There are many people in the world, and only human beings, an "animal" with spiritual language and thinking, can truly understand beauty, and thus have a demand for and creation of beauty. Beauty is the eternal theme of human exploration, which forms Chinese painting. The germination, development and maturity of China's paintings have gone through a long historical process, and his source can be traced back to prehistoric times. At first, it only showed primitive and simple ideals and life, and served the upper class politically and religiously. At the same time, it also reflects the ups and downs of social outlook and secular life scenes in various times. In this long course, it was not until human beings created practical vessels and buildings in the process of labor and decorated them that they noticed the use of pictures, and the decorative images painted on them created a precedent with original composition consciousness. This kind of art, with the creation of beauty as its basic feature and main mission, is synchronized with the emergence of human beings and the formation and development of society. As early as the era of Three Emperors and Five Emperors, there were beautiful words of "emperor painting" and "condyle painting by hand", which brought mankind into a more complex world where logical thinking and image thinking blended, and China's brilliant painting history wrote the first shining chapter from here.

China has a long history of painting, which can be found in historical records. The earliest ones were Fu's paintings of gossip, Huangdi's paintings of uniforms and Luo Shunmei's paintings of objects. Early paintings were recreated by craftsmen, carved on materials, bronzes and painted on pottery. It was not until the invention of paper in the Han Dynasty that painters painted on paper with a brush and gradually evolved into modern Chinese painting.

In the long history, China's painting art has formed its own tradition. This traditional style and national aesthetic demand are constantly enriched, broken through and innovated in the progress of the times, which breeds and creates the emergence of new styles and becomes a treasure in China art garden and a dazzling flower in the world art garden. Picasso, a world-class master of painting, said that "real art is in the East". After thousands of years of development, Chinese painting has not only formed a distinctive national artistic style, but also appeared various schools and masters. China's ancient, excellent and profound paintings have become a banner of the world art forest, which stands out from the crowd.

The Three Kingdoms period (220-265) is an important development stage in China's painting history. The themes of early paintings were mainly Buddhist paintings and Taoist paintings. In the Tang Dynasty, it gradually broke away from the landscape painting of figure painting and was replaced by Taoist painting, which became the main theme of painting. Due to the achievements and influence of Tang poetry, painting emphasizes interest and artistic conception, and the lyricism pursued by literati is unprecedented, which is the beginning of the rise of literati painting. Landscape painting in the Five Dynasties not only changed the primary program in the Jin and Tang Dynasties, but also appeared quite developed landscape painting school. Landscape painting in the Northern Song Dynasty drifted with the tide and became more mature on the basis of the Five Dynasties. The prosperous Jiangnan economy after the Southern Song Dynasty promoted the prosperity of painting art, and the rise of "Four Schools in the Southern Song Dynasty" became the mainstream of painting at that time. Literati painting was derived in Yuan Dynasty, and ink landscape was particularly prosperous. In the early Ming Dynasty, the court "courtyard painting" flourished, and the painting style inherited the "courtyard painting" in the Song Dynasty. During the period from Jiajing to Wanli in Ming Dynasty, "Wu Pai" appeared in the south of the Yangtze River, and a variety of painting schools appeared in the later period. The "Four Heavenly Kings" in the early Qing Dynasty were all supported by the royal family. However, there appeared a group of anti-traditional painters in Jiangnan, represented by "four monks in the early Qing Dynasty" and "eight families in Jinling". They opposed the copying style of the "four kings" in painting art and advocated the creative significance of art, which brought great influence to the development of later painting. The formation of the "Yangzhou Painting School" in the middle of Qing Dynasty and the "Sea Painting Circle" in the late Qing Dynasty, with different styles, are like colorful stars. Their innovative spirit of painting exploration and their pursuit of interesting pen and ink are accepted by modern famous painters such as Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong and Pan Tianshou.

Its development and evolution can be divided into the following periods: the initial formation of national painting style in the pre-Qin and Han dynasties; The development stage of painting in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties; Painting in Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties tends to be prosperous; The prosperity of painting in Song Dynasty; Yuan dynasty painting with pen and ink as the mainstream; The emergence of Ming and Qing painting schools; Inheritance and development of modern painting.

The development of Chinese painting today is divided according to the scope; Divided into figure painting, flower-and-bird painting and landscape painting. Pen, ink, paper and inkstone are tools of Chinese painting. The techniques of Chinese painting are divided into meticulous painting and freehand brushwork. The beauty of lines, composition and composition in Chinese painting expresses the beauty of artistic conception, form and art.
