What is the reason that there was no realistic painting in ancient China? Ancient Chinese painting, also known as "Chinese painting", attaches great importance to "external nature, in the heart of the source". The themes were figure painting, flower and bird painting, and landscape painting. They form a complete system with each other, learning from and influencing each other. Ancient Chinese painting focuses on the writing of the spirit of the object and the scattering of the spirit, which is a high degree of unity between the subject and the object, reproduction and expression. It is not difficult to find that there are few paintings depicting suffering in ancient Chinese paintings, but in the West, there are more such works. It is not until modern times that there are more such themes. Objectively speaking, traditional Chinese painting focuses on mood, but it does not conform to general international aesthetic standards, which tend to favor realistic works.

The level of ancient Chinese painting was high. The level of abstract art in China is very high, but there are very few realistic works. In fact, this is not entirely a lack of our themes and a flaw in the history of ancient Chinese painting; rather, it is a ****ing choice of the painting artists and the times. The art of suffering is more inclined to realistic portrayal, but the art of the ancients was "high culture" type, the realism of the suffering works is a "prop" type of works, but the ancient paintings of the service object is the aristocracy and celebrities, the reality of the suffering of the genre has a certain unattractiveness. The genre of suffering has a certain unattractiveness.

Taking western sculpture as an example, there are often nude figures, and the figures or landscapes are accurately portrayed, which is a very realistic artistic expression. And Chinese painting is just the opposite, a few brushes, outlining the outline of the painting, although the painting does not have much ink and brush, but we can think through the conclusion of the display of distinctive features, that is, through the phenomenon to see the essence of the obvious, the more we attach importance to the spirit of Chinese painting, essentially an abstract art, more like the simplest and most direct.

Additionally, it is difficult to depict the crucifixion type of theme to the extent of "heavy snow". Most European and American countries live on the oceans, fishing to protect themselves from storms or hunting wildlife in the forests. Their way of life is very passionate and their way of expression and thinking is very bold, whereas China is a small peasant economy, a relatively stable and fixed way of production. Ancient China pursued security, so suffering the real thing was not popular, the Chinese preferred festive and auspicious morals, and pursued the spirit of adventure, the West depicted what was true to class more, our traditional Chinese painting was moving towards abstraction in the Tang Dynasty, the West has been hundreds of years behind us in abstract art, but the development of our painstakingly realistic paintings has also been hundreds of years behind the West.
