What paintings in China have a fine tradition of expressing feelings based on realism?

The ancient flower-and-bird painting in China has a fine tradition based on sketching, conveying feelings with objects and conveying aspirations with objects. Different from the western still life sketch, it focuses on expressing the ecological characteristics of flowers and birds, describing the vitality and characteristics of animals and plants, and expressing the experience and feelings of nature and life. It is an empathy expression that people appreciate animals and plants, and it reflects the aesthetic relationship between man and nature. Therefore, when China painters appreciate plants and animals such as plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, pine, tiger, eagle, ox and horse crane, they often give them certain "social attributes", and they use them to express their feelings and yearning for life when painting.
