How should we treat the traditional literati painting art in China after contacting the traditional painting in China?

Looking at the traditional literati painting art in China, we should first understand that the traditional literati painting in China is a wonderful flower in the art history of China. It sublimates China's art from the "artisan spirit" and adds the feelings and thoughts of the creator to the painting, which makes the audience collide with their feelings and thoughts and deepens their integration with culture.

Secondly, to correctly view and appreciate China's traditional literati painting, we should also grasp three aspects:

First, in the traditional art of literati painting in China, painting is only a means, and literati should express their feelings, thoughts and understanding of the world through painting. For example, the picture of "Mei Zhu Lan Ju" that literati love to draw is to express their tireless pursuit of the four qualities of "pride, ease, firmness and lightness".

Second, China's traditional literati painting, adhering to the "implication" in China's traditional culture, expresses his ambition through things and expresses his knowledge, cognition and thoughts diplomatically. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, Shen Zhou's "The High Map of Lushan Mountain" was given to the teacher as a birthday present, and the lofty, majestic and profound Lushan Mountain was used to reflect the teacher's profound knowledge and noble personality.

Thirdly, the traditional literati paintings in China are mostly in the form of freehand brushwork, with gullies in their chests, which can more accurately express the inspiration of the literati at that time. Brush and ink and composition have their own laws. The quality of a work mainly depends on the painter's thought and accomplishment, which is also a means to judge the level of a literati painting.

The literati's emphasis on Taoism is its advantage. They advocate Taoism and nature, and often pin their lofty spirit on landscape flowers and birds. Mei Opera is a typical representative of its theme. In terms of techniques, it is not to show off skills, but more to express literati feelings in brushstrokes. Literati painting embodies Tao, which is the core value of literati painting and the artistic essence of Chinese painting after literati intervention.

Of course, literati painting also tends to deviate from painting skills, which is for the sake of disadvantages. Skill is the basic value of Chinese painting. China's painting skills are the essence of national culture since ancient times, and have formed an advanced system, so simplification and nihilism should be avoided. Technology is the carrier of Tao, and there has been a tendency to deliberately raise the status of literati painting and belittle the thought of non-literati painting in past dynasties.
