The Origin of Chinese Painting Art About How Many Years Ago?

The history of painting in China can be traced back to the Neolithic Age of primitive society, at least 7,000 years ago.

In the beginning, Chinese paintings were drawn on pottery, floors, and rock walls, and gradually developed to be drawn on walls, silk, and paper. The basic tools used were brushes and ink, as well as natural mineral pigments. Under the efforts of countless painters to explore and innovate, a distinctive national style and national flavor gradually formed, and has its own independent aesthetic system of painting.
