What are the three subjects of Chinese painting?

Chinese painting is a unique painting art in China, which can usually be divided into three themes: figures, landscapes and flowers and birds.

Figure painting: Depicting figures is the most important theme of Chinese painting. In the traditional culture of China, figure painting not only has practical value, but also represents the essence and aesthetic consciousness of China culture. Through various expressions such as pen and ink, lines, strokes and colors, the portraits of the characters are vividly presented on the paper, and the characters are vividly portrayed.

Landscape painting: Landscape painting focuses on natural landscapes such as mountains, water, clouds and rocks, emphasizing "extraordinary artistic conception" and "carefree mood", and paying attention to the artistic characteristics of "majestic" and "fantastic and magnificent". Landscape painting not only contains the realism of real life scenery, but also has the performance characteristics of imagination and innovation. It is a school of its own, occupying a dominant position in China's traditional painting.

Flower-and-bird painting: Flowers and birds are two main parts of flower-and-bird painting, and paintings are often combined according to seasons. Flower-and-bird painting is regarded as the most typical female art in Chinese painting. It depicts the nature, incorporates elements such as culture and philosophy, and leaves a good impression on people.

These three paintings have become an indispensable part of China's traditional culture and are loved by literati and ordinary people. Today, these three paintings have gained high reputation and influence all over the world and become an important part of China culture.
