Chinese painting has its own obvious characteristics. Chinese painting, according to the comments on the ancient paintings of Sheikh in the Southern Dynasties, pays attention to "vivid charm", does not stick to the appearance of objects, but emphasizes the expression of the author's subjective interest. Chinese painting emphasizes "expressive form" and pursues a feeling that "beauty lies between similarity and dissimilarity".

Pay attention to the charm of pen and ink, and the requirements for brushwork are: flat, round, staying, heavy and changeable. Ink method requires that ink be divided into five colors: coke, thick, heavy, light and clear. Paying attention to the "brushwork method" does not lie in the focus perspective, nor in the influence of the environment on the light color change of the object, but in the blank layout and the "momentum" of the object. From the perspective of art history, the capital before the Republic of China was called ancient painting. Chinese painting did not have a clear name in ancient times.
