China has several kinds of paintings. Is ink painting unique to China?

In the early Tang Dynasty, there was a great poet named Wang Wei. He was not only good at writing poems, but also good at painting, which is actually the painting in the old saying. So Su Dongpo later commented that there are paintings in poetry and poems in paintings. In fact, the same is true of China's Chinese paintings. As far as the categories of objects are concerned, Chinese paintings are mainly divided into figure paintings, landscape paintings and flower-and-bird paintings, but landscape paintings are indeed unique to China.

1. The landscape is unique to China. Some people may say that I will also paint the western impressionist themes of mountains or water, but it is worth noting that in the west, mountains and water are relatively small parts of these paintings, and they are not as imposing and broad-minded as China's landscape paintings. That is to say, the unique type of landscape painting only existed in ancient China, and the landscape painting mainly used ink and wash, which was not available in western painting materials, so even if they wanted to paint, they could not do it.

Second, freehand brushwork in landscape is the mainstream. In landscape painting, you don't have to pay attention to one mountain and one stone, but every grass and tree should be included. It is possible that he just drew the general shape of the mountain and drew a wonderful picture with a few sketches. It is also possible that he will paint every flower in detail and create a treasure handed down from generation to generation. But this is because it depends on what the painter wants to write, so painting is unique. Lonely and profound artistic conception can be seen in Fuchun Shan Jutu, but majestic and lofty artistic conception can be seen in thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

3. Line drawing in landscape is a kind of landscape painting with characteristics, just like figure painting and flower-and-bird painting. It depicts all forms of a person, a group of people or a bird and a flower, and it pays attention to proper blank space. Technically, it's called line drawing So when we appreciate China's landscape paintings, we will see a large piece or a small piece, or a layered part of white paper. The main function is to imagine what might be nearby or far away. Just as there are 65,438+0,000 Hamlets in the hearts of 65,438+0,000 readers, everyone who appreciates them has different opinions, which will enrich the painting again.
