The Application of Perspective in Chinese and Western Painting

The "perspective method" we are talking about now is the painting theory introduced from the west, that is, the "focus perspective method". Its basic principle is to draw an object seen through the glass plate with a pen, and then draw a picture that conforms to the principle of focus perspective. Its characteristics are in line with human visual reality and pay attention to science. Under the guidance of the combination of arts and sciences, grasp the law of expression space by using focus perspective. Chinese painting does not have this theory, but it also has its procedural rules. Later, we also called it "perspective method", that is, "lofty method", "far-reaching method" and "equal method" But the perspective of Chinese painting has little to do with the perspective of western science. The perspective of western painting is to rationally explain the natural phenomena people see in a focus and draw what they can see. The perspective of Chinese painting is about the feeling given by the picture. So Chinese painting can draw everything you want to see. If the perspective of western painting is scientific, then the perspective of Chinese painting can be said to be smart.
