What are the artistic features of China's ancient paintings?

There are many kinds of ancient paintings in China, which can be divided into meticulous painting and freehand brushwork according to different techniques.

Meticulous brushwork: emphasizes line modeling, only expresses the inherent color of the object, and abandons the influence of the environment on the object.

Freehand brushwork: it also emphasizes line modeling, but it emphasizes the feeling of pen and ink, saying: there is pen, ink and painting. Color follows the principle of "color does not hinder ink, ink does not hinder color". Taking advantage of the strong permeability of raw rice paper, the functions of writing brush and ink are fully exerted, showing the characteristics of scorched, heavy, thick, light and clear ink.

Whether it is meticulous or freehand brushwork. They do not emphasize the depiction of light, but only show the inherent color of the object itself and the yin and yang of the object itself. Image space (that is, blank space) is used to describe space. It can be seen in Hanjiang solo fishing map and scattered composition map (it can be seen in Qingming Shanghe map).

China's ancient painting is first and foremost the art of pen, ink and lines. It is the brushwork, pen and ink and lines that create the unique charm of Chinese painting and the different styles of each painter. Secondly, Chinese painting uses the method of "scattered perspective" to shape the image, which is not limited by space, time and the actual proportion of things, and is more free and flexible. Finally, Chinese painting is a comprehensive art integrating calligraphy, poetry, inscription, seal cutting and mounting.
