Chinese painting is actually very beautiful. Why do so many people like oil painting?

On the whole, Chinese painting has beautiful artistic conception, beautiful style and rich connotation. If we carefully taste it, we can appreciate China people's cultural concepts, ideological interests and aesthetic attitudes towards everything in the world from Chinese paintings. Everything in the world, including people, is an inseparable part of the universe. Only when its essence conforms to the unity of heaven and man and presents a harmonious atmosphere can it be considered beautiful.

Different angles of appreciation will be different, the main reasons are:

First, Chinese painting is a traditional literati painting that integrates "poetry, calligraphy and painting". To appreciate China, we should gradually understand the language connotation of the works. In particular, freehand Chinese painting is the feelings and knowledge written by the painter in books, just like people often say, "painting is like a person." You Xi's direct depiction of objects is rich in color and has a cordial sense of reality.

Second, Chinese painting does not carve, but pays attention to the composition of "point, line, surface, black, white and gray", with ink as the main color supplemented, emphasizing vivid charm and scattered perspective, which can travel through time and space instead of burning like a camera, creating a two-dimensional picture space and giving people great imagination. Oil painting is mainly realistic, which is more in line with the public aesthetic.

The spread of Chinese painting is not strong enough.

The beauty of Chinese painting lies in pursuing similarity. The pursuit of inner beauty requires high cultural accomplishment. For example, the paintings of Qi Baishi and Huang look like children's works at first glance, but the brushwork is exquisite and the artistic conception is far-reaching. Qi Baishi's masterpiece contains many aspects of poetry, calligraphy and painting. If the viewer does not have this quality, it is actually difficult to appreciate.

In addition, the pinnacle of oil painting is to complete the work with a scientific attitude. The works created are similar to the current high-definition photos, and most people actually know whether a painting is good or not without any training. It is generally believed that the works of that period are the best in history. Masterpieces like Mona Lisa.

Although there were similar relatively realistic Chinese paintings in China and Song Dynasty, this part of Chinese paintings was very weak in popular aesthetic popularization and was not well promoted, so people preferred oil paintings.

Chinese painting is a unique artistic treasure in the world and an art that embodies China's ancient philosophy.

Because her beauty is implicit, it is a combination of poetry and calligraphy, and it is difficult to appreciate. Appreciators need a certain accumulation of traditional culture to appreciate it deeply. For example, the meaning of flower-and-bird painting is a symbol of beauty, peony represents wealth, persimmon represents beauty, vase represents peace and so on. The traditional Chinese painting landscape is to express the mountains and valleys in the painter's chest, as well as the harmonious artistic conception between man and nature and between man and nature. Understanding Taoism is a manifestation of China's landscape painting.

Oil painting is a more intuitive art, which is consistent with western thinking. It is direct, clear and easy to understand. In particular, the new generation of young people have received more westernized education and gradually lost the traditional cultural foundation of China. In addition, it is a wrong idea that oil painting is better because of westernization. With China's growing influence on the world, Chinese painting will surely usher in a new spring.

With the broadcasting of painting channels such as painting and calligraphy channel and sinology channel, various fine arts colleges have been established in China. In addition, on various domestic network platforms, private individuals teach various painting techniques of Chinese painting through videos, thus promoting thousands of people in Qian Qian to learn Chinese painting and gradually forming a huge trend. With the change of time, more and more people will learn Chinese painting, and since Chinese painting is the mainstream, they also learn the skills of western oil painting creation, which is called suitability.
