In ancient Chinese architecture, the highest grade of color painting is the Hexi color painting.

Ho Seal Painting, also known as Palace Architecture Painting, is the highest-grade type of painting in ancient Chinese architecture, and is used on the main halls of palaces, altars and temples, and other large buildings, especially on the three main halls of the Forbidden City in Beijing, namely the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Central Harmony and the Hall of Bao He and the three rear halls, namely, the Palace of Qian Qing, the Hall of Jiao Tai and the Palace of Kun Ning, among other buildings.

The motifs of the Hexi paintings are based on dragons and phoenixes, and the frames are mostly double bracketed, with motifs including cloud dragons, flying phoenixes, dragons and phoenixes, and ten thousand lifetimes, etc. The main motif is the cloud dragon. Among them, the cloud dragon is the main motif, which consists of two dragons and a cloud, while the dragon and phoenix are combined with the dragon and phoenix, and the ten thousand lifetimes are added to the cloud with the element of longevity. All of these motifs symbolize the notion of supremacy and sanctity of imperial power.

The painting process of Hexi color painting is very complicated and requires a number of procedures. First, a layer of lacquer is applied to the wooden structure of the building, and then the designs are painted on it. Each pattern requires different colors and lines, with the drawing of the dragon and phoenix patterns requiring even greater skill. After the drawing is completed, there are still several processes to be carried out, such as gold sticking, gold tracing and lacquering.

Hexi painting has a very important position in ancient Chinese architecture, which is not only a kind of decorative art, but also a kind of cultural symbols and symbols. It represents the dignity and authority of the royal family and is an important part of ancient Chinese architectural culture. Nowadays, Hexi painting has been listed as a national intangible cultural heritage, which is of great significance for the protection and inheritance of the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation.
