What are the Four Elements of Chinese Painting

The Four Elements of Poetry, Calligraphy, Painting and Printing

Traditional Chinese paintings are more distinctive when poetry, calligraphy, painting and printing are combined to complement each other. The fusion of poetry, calligraphy, painting and sealing is a brand new combination, very different from the four elements of art that exist independently, the organic combination of these four elements can not only enrich the content of the picture, but also enrich the realm of the picture, bringing immense pleasure and aesthetic enjoyment to the people. This is a major feature of Chinese painting technique, an artistic characteristic that distinguishes it from any other painting technique in the world.
