What does traditional Chinese painting mean?

Chinese paintings through the ages are paintings made with traditional Chinese brushes and ink on rice paper and damask silk. In order to distinguish oil painting, gouache, watercolor and other Western paintings, collectively known as Chinese painting or simply national painting. In the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there appeared a method of calling Chinese painting ink painting, and the most recent trend was the emergence of "transformed ink painting" or "contemporary ink painting". In order to make a difference, the traditional painting method of Chinese painting is "categorized" into the traditional painting, called "traditional painting". Let's put it this way: Chinese painters who adhere to the aesthetic foundation of Chinese painting call their works Chinese paintings, while "Chinese painting reformers" who have learned the aesthetic foundation of Western painting call them "traditionalists" and "traditional paintings", and they themselves are "traditional paintings". The "reformers of Chinese painting" who have learned the aesthetics of Western painting call them "traditionalists" and "traditional painting", while they themselves are "contemporaryists" and "contemporary Chinese painting". Even if contemporary Chinese painters adhere to the aesthetic foundations of Chinese painting and use traditional painting techniques in their creations, are their works not "contemporary Chinese paintings"? The "Chinese painting reformer" categorizes the works of contemporary Chinese painters into traditional paintings, which is really unorthodox, and has the suspicion of belittling others and elevating oneself.

Upstairs, my friend said that Chinese painting includes:

Writing: landscape, birds and flowers, people

Working: birds and flowers, landscape, people

In fact, Chinese painting is not categorized by writing and working, for example, there is no such thing as working in landscape. Even if the boundary of the painting to write the pavilion is more neat, the scene is still written using the same technique, is not a work of art.
