What are the characteristics of traditional Chinese painting?

The first thing to do is to have a good idea - the conception of Chinese painting. Many painting theorists have emphasized the importance of the conception of a painting, whether it is a landscape painting, a figure painting, or a flower and bird painting. Zhang Yanyuan in the Tang Dynasty in the "record of famous paintings through the ages," there is a paragraph on the "six methods" of the discussion: "the image of the object must be in the form of similarity, similarity to the whole of its bones. Bones and qi... All of them are based on the general idea and are attributed to the use of the brush." He believes that the intention is complete. Painting in order to have a perversion, there are strange ideas. Song Dynasty to paint plum famous monk Hua Guang, the law name of Zhong Ren, passed on as Hua Guang writes "painting plum finger fan", there is a paragraph "painting plum full decision",? The beginning is "The whole decision of painting plums, business first". In the Qing Dynasty, Fang Xun wrote "A Treatise on Painting in the Mountain of Jingju". Here also emphasized the relationship between intention and painting, he said: "painting must first intention to determine the position, the intention of strange is strange, the intention of high is high, the intention of far is far, the intention of deep is deep, the intention of ancient is ancient".

He believed that mediocre painting will be mediocre, vulgar painting is vulgar, because the lack of the most valuable painter "intention", so the work is mediocre. Italian Renaissance eight period of the painter da Vinci, also has a similar near in he once said: "a painter should depict the two most important things, people and people's ideological intentions." This and China's Jin Dynasty figure painter Gu消之 put forward the "skillful and dense in fine thought" is very consistent." Where does the "intention" come from. One is the painter's rich perception of real life, the full accumulation of creative experience; the other is the painter's own cultivation, so that in the creation of the first, what to paint, how to paint, in the mind to form a mature conception. Song Dynasty painters Wen and Ke, others praised him for "having a bamboo in his chest", that is, before he did not put down his brush to paint bamboo, he already had an image of bamboo in his mind, in his chest, the brush jumped out, and then he was able to put down his brush."'' The idiom of "having a plan in mind" has become the idiom of our country to praise a person who is good at planning and organizing things. Before Zhang Yanyuan proposed the "intention", Xie He in the southern production era, that is, "creativity", "Mingyi" said.
