China has a long history of painting. Primitive rock paintings and painted pottery paintings appeared in ancient times, and silk paintings appeared in the Warring States period. These early paintings laid the foundation for China's later paintings to take lines as the main modeling means. During the Han, Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, religious paintings were the mainstream, depicting local historical figures and drawing literary works. Landscape painting and flower-and-bird painting also germinated at this time. At the same time, consciously grasp painting in theory and put forward evaluation criteria. Painting in Sui and Tang Dynasties showed all-round prosperity. Landscape painting and flower-and-bird painting have matured, religious painting has reached its peak, and there has been a tendency of secularization; Portraits mainly show aristocratic life, with characters with characteristics of the times. Figure painting in the Five Dynasties and the Song Dynasty has turned to depicting secular life, while religious painting has gradually declined, and landscape painting and flower-and-bird painting have leapt to the mainstream of painting. The appearance of literati painting and its development in later generations greatly enriched the creative concept and expression method of Chinese painting.
