Chinese painting (also known as Chinese painting) is a traditional form of painting in China, which mainly refers to scroll painting painted on silk, rice paper and silk and framed. The word Chinese painting originated in the Han Dynasty, with themes such as figures, landscapes, flowers and birds, and techniques such as realism and freehand brushwork. In content and artistic creation, it embodies the ancients' cognition of nature, society, politics and related philosophy.

Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, the painter's innovation in Chinese painting has continued to this day, and his style has been constantly innovated on the basis of inheritance. The star-studded "Wu Pai" in the Ming Dynasty not only represented the highest level, but also set a new precedent for future generations in the exploration of reference and innovation. In the late Five Schools, Suzhou painters, represented by Zhang Hong, found a new way in literati landscape painting and created works full of life flavor.

On the basis of inheriting the characteristics of Wu Pai's painting style, they created paintings full of life, reflecting the unique spiritual realm. The picture is fresh and elegant, and the artistic conception is ethereal and clear.

The artistic characteristics of Chinese painting;

In the Ming Dynasty, Chou Ying's (partial) Chinese painting "Spring Dawn in the Han Palace" embodies China's traditional philosophy and aesthetic thought in the aspects of observation, sculpture and expression. In observing and understanding objective things, we adopt the method of seeing the big from the small and seeing the big from the small, and observe and understand objective things in activities, and even directly participate in things, rather than being a representation or limited to a fixed point.

It permeates people's social consciousness, thus making painting have the cognitive function of "learning to paint after a thousand years of solitude" and the educational function of "warning the world with evil and showing the future with good". Even the purely natural objective images such as landscapes, flowers and birds are consciously related to people's social consciousness and aesthetic feelings in observation, understanding and performance. The combination of interests, lyricism with scenery, and ambition with objects embody China's concept of "harmony between man and nature".
