What are the structural techniques of Chinese painting?

Composition, according to the tradition of Chinese painting theory, is called layout, or commercial orientation. Such a name is obviously a matter of picture arrangement. Composition is the embodiment of creative ideas on the screen, that is, the arrangement of images is an artistic practice that embodies ideas and constitutes the screen. Composition is dominated and determined by the content, which needs to be expressed in a certain artistic form to enhance the aesthetic feeling. Art form has certain independence, which affects the expression of content to a certain extent. Therefore, the creative process can also be understood as the process of unifying content and artistic form in one picture. The methods and rules of composition come from the understanding and understanding of objective things. The essence of life contains extremely rich content and formal beauty, which provides a basis for creation. As long as you go deep into life, observe carefully and practice constantly, it is not difficult to find novel content and composition forms in life.

However, we can't ignore the study of traditional composition methods and forms, because our predecessors left valuable expression skills, composition rules and methods for future generations in the practice of artistic creation. This requires us to carry forward on the basis of learning and inheritance, and avoid copying mechanically, so that it can be divorced from life and become rigid and lifeless forms and dogmas. As Shi Tao said, "No, I just can't handle it. With the law, it cannot be hindered by the law. "

If you want to master the composition method, you must explore its principles and laws. Only by mastering the law can it have universal significance and guide specific practice. Simply put, the law of composition is the concrete application of the law of unity of opposites in the picture. Such as: guest and host, virtual reality, opening and closing, vertical and horizontal, seeking concessions, details, size, quantity and so on. , are contradictory. And composition is to unify these contradictory aspects in one picture and achieve a perfect artistic realm.
