Hello, I want to know what are the characteristics of Paintings of Ming Dynasty, and what are the artistic features.

The painting style of Ming Dynasty changed repeatedly, and the painting school flourished. In the category and theme of painting, traditional figure painting, landscape painting and flower-and-bird painting are more popular, and the plum, orchid, bamboo and miscellaneous paintings painted by literati are also quite developed. As far as art schools are concerned, there are many painting schools that are geographically centered or differentiated by style. In terms of learning from others, there are mainly the school paintings and Zhejiang School in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Wu Pai, who developed the figurative literati painting style. In terms of painting methods, ink landscape and freehand brushwork flowers and birds have flourished and made remarkable achievements, and figure painting has also appeared unique new features such as deformed figures and ink bones painting portraits. In addition, folk painting, especially printmaking, flourished in the late Ming Dynasty.
