Is it accurate to say that China's paintings don't stick to appearances, but emphasize resemblance?

Accurate.

Traditional Chinese painting does not pay attention to perspective, does not emphasize the change of light and color of natural objects, and does not stick to the shape of objects. Instead, it uses scattered perspectives to express the author's subjective interest and express a beautiful artistic conception.

China's painting art has a long history. After thousands of years of continuous enrichment, innovation and development, painters and craftsmen, mainly Han people, including ethnic minorities, have created distinctive national styles and rich forms and techniques, forming a unique painting language system with China meaning, which has an important position and influence in the art of the East and even the world.

The history of China's painting can be traced back to the painted pottery patterns and rock paintings of Neolithic Age in primitive society. Although the original painting technique is naive, it has mastered the preliminary modeling ability, and can also pay attention to the main characteristics of animals, plants and other dynamic and static forms to express the beliefs and wishes of ancestors and beautify life.
