Differences between Chinese and Western Arts

Differences in creation (China's traditional freehand brushwork focuses on the relationship between man and nature, reflecting people's feelings about nature, while western classical art is realistic, focusing on the reproduction of nature, reflecting the real situation or operation theory of nature); Differences in conception and artistic techniques (Chinese painting is a scattered perspective, while western painting is a focused perspective).

Differences in artistic creation: China's traditional art is freehand, focusing on the relationship between man and nature, reflecting people's feelings about nature. Painting is freehand brushwork, music emphasizes feelings, and calligraphy writes the mind; The realism of western classical art focuses on the reappearance of nature, which mostly reflects the real situation or operation theory of nature. Painting is more realistic and music is more harmonious.

Differences in artistic techniques: Chinese painting is a "scattered perspective" and western painting is a "focus perspective". The principle of free will is the product of the subject's "mental image", focusing on impression, which can be said to be the reappearance of China's verve theory in the art field; The "focus perspective principle" is the product of the "mirror image" of the object, focusing on three-dimensional, and it is the application of western geometry in the art field. China developed the "mind image art" to the peak with a few strokes of ink painting and cursive script; The West pushes "mirror art" to the extreme with lifelike oil paintings and sculptures.
