Which is better for Chinese painting pigments?

At present, the most widely used is the "Marley brand" Chinese painting pigment produced by Shanghai Marley Industrial Painting Materials Co., Ltd., which is very convenient to use.

Chinese painting pigments are generally divided into mineral pigments and plant pigments. Historically, there should be minerals first, then plants, just like using pine smoke first and then oil smoke in ink. The bright colors left on ancient rock paintings were found to be mineral pigments (such as cinnabar) through laboratory tests. The remarkable characteristics of mineral pigments are not easy to fade and bright colors. Most people who have seen Zhang Daqian's splash-ink paintings in his later years have this impression. A large area of azurite, azurite and cinnabar can make people feel refreshed! Plant pigments are mainly extracted from trees and flowers.
