The main types of traditional Chinese paintings.

From the perspective of art history, the Chinese paintings before the Republic of China are collectively referred to as ancient paintings.

Chinese painting had no definite name in ancient times, but was generally called Danqing. It mainly refers to scroll paintings painted on silk, rice paper, and silk and framed.

Since modern times, in order to distinguish it from foreign paintings such as oil paintings (also known as Western paintings) imported from the West, it has been called Chinese painting, or "Chinese painting" for short.

It is a painting created using China's unique brushes, inks and pigments in accordance with long-established expression forms and artistic rules.

According to the materials used and expression methods, Chinese painting can be subdivided into ink painting, heavy color painting, light crimson painting, fine brushwork, freehand brushwork, line drawing, etc.; according to its subject matter, it can also be divided into figure painting, landscape painting, flower and bird painting, etc.

The forms of Chinese paintings are relatively diverse. Those that are unfolded horizontally include long scrolls (also called hand scrolls) and horizontal batches; those that are unfolded vertically include banners and naves; those that are full-foot-sized include albums and squares; those painted on fans include folding fans, round fans, etc.

In terms of ideological content and artistic creation, Chinese painting reflects the social consciousness and aesthetic taste of the Chinese nation, and embodies the Chinese people's understanding of nature, society and the politics, philosophy, religion, morality, literature and art associated with them.
