The difference between China's modern Chinese painting and ancient times.

Definition of Chinese painting: It is a traditional painting in China (different from "Western painting"), and it is an artistic work created by using the traditional techniques of paper, ink, pen, inkstone and Chinese painting in China.

Introduction:

Chinese painting is also called "Chinese painting". Tools and materials include brush, ink, Chinese painting pigments, rice paper, silk and so on. Themes can be divided into figures, landscapes, flowers and birds, etc. Techniques can be divided into brushwork and freehand brushwork, and its spiritual core is "pen and ink".

From the perspective of art history, the capital before the Republic of China was called ancient painting. In ancient times, Chinese painting did not have a clear name, and it was generally called Danqing, which mainly refers to scroll painting painted on silk, rice paper and silk and mounted. It is called Chinese painting in modern times, which is different from western oil painting (also known as western painting) and other foreign paintings. It is created in accordance with the unique aesthetic trend of the Chinese nation and the resulting artistic techniques.

Chinese painting reflects the national consciousness and aesthetic taste of the Chinese nation in content and artistic creation, and embodies the ancient people's understanding of nature, society and politics, philosophy, religion, morality, literature and art related to it. Traditional Chinese painting emphasizes "the nature of foreign teachers is the source of China's heart", melts things into nature, and requires "meaning to save a pen first, painting as best as possible", which is vivid in form and spirit. Because calligraphy and painting are in the same strain, both of them emphasize the use of brush to express thoughts and emotions, so painting, calligraphy and seal cutting influence and promote each other. Modern Chinese painting has made a breakthrough and development in inheriting tradition and absorbing foreign techniques.
