At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, people realized the role of "supporting things" in flower-and-bird paintings-Su Dongpo, Ouyang Xiu and others put forward the ideas of "getting carried away" and "being interested in things" successively.

After the concept of "meaning" was put forward, flowers and birds gradually personified, and the so-called "freehand flower-and-bird painting" came from this. The spiritual interest symbolized by the theme of freehand flower-and-bird painting is the embodiment of the values formed by the Chinese nation for thousands of years.

Its most remarkable artistic feature should be to express the painter's true feelings through the description of things, so as to achieve the realm of blending the scenery with me. However, it is not easy to master and make good use of this lyric medium, and several aspects of homework must be done well.

China's flower-and-bird paintings sprouted in Song Dynasty, matured in Ming Dynasty and flourished in Qing Dynasty. At first, it was only to meet the needs of decoration, although there were also noble and low points, but in the end it was for the pleasure of the audience.
