On the differences between Chinese and western paintings in perspective rules

1, the perspective rule of Chinese painting: China's traditional painting "scattered perspective" ignores the real perspective, "his" artistic will "doesn't want to show perspective on the screen, and adopts the view of" taking the big picture as small "to decide and organize all parts from the overall rhythm; It shows that the painter pursues the expression of inner real space, pays attention to people's inner feelings, shows the projection of objects in the heart, strives for "likeness" rather than "likeness", pays attention to the beauty of "artistic conception" of the picture, and paints with freehand brushwork.

2. Perspective method of western painting: In terms of expression, the "focus perspective" in western traditional painting is based on science, strictly following the objective laws of the near big and the far small, so that the objects on the screen have visual vanishing points, and their pursuit is objective and true reproduction, and their style is realistic and rigorous, giving people a sense of being there.

Second, the way of watching is different.

1, the perspective rule of Chinese painting: In terms of viewing mode, the western "focus perspective" depicts a fixed-point viewing scene, that is, seeing things with static eyes, theoretically putting the original moving eyes at a certain angle to form a fixed frame picture, so the time in the picture is fixed, there is no sense of existence, and the space is limited. This makes the picture tend to be penetrating, insightful and stable, reflecting a rigorous attitude of high concern.

2. Western perspective: China's "scattered perspective" is much more flexible. It shows that the creator uses moving eyes to analyze problems, emphasizes the freedom and activity of eyes, and records the scenery to be described by sightseeing. The continuous shift of attention makes the picture break away from the shackles of "time" and "space", and objects that are not in the same line of sight, different spaces and different times can also appear in a picture at the same time.

Third, the philosophical influence is different.

1, perspective rule of Chinese painting: Western traditional painting is mainly influenced by ancient Greek philosophy and comes from rational and rigorous scientific research. The ancient Greeks believed that art originated from human imitation of nature.

2. Perspective of Western painting: The three traditional philosophical thought systems with Confucianism, Taoism and Zen as the main body have played a decisive role in the formation of China's painting aesthetic orientation, and various thoughts have merged and infiltrated to form the "harmony between man and nature".
