On the Classification of China's Landscape Paintings

China landscape painting is one of the important schools of traditional painting in China, and its classification can be divided into two categories: landscape painting and figure landscape painting. 1. Landscape painting: Landscape painting is an art form with the theme of natural landscape, pursuing the grandeur and artistic conception of natural landscape. According to the different painting techniques and forms, landscape painting can be divided into traditional landscape painting and freehand brushwork landscape painting. Traditional landscape painting pursues delicate details and accurate composition, and pays attention to the realistic expression of landscape; Freehand brushwork landscape painting pays more attention to the expression of the painter's emotions and artistic conception, emphasizing the image and charm of pen and ink. 2. Character landscape painting: Character landscape painting is a painting form that adds character elements on the basis of landscape painting. Landscape painting of figures can be divided into foreground figures and theme figures. Foreground figures refer to adding some figures to landscape painting to enrich the picture, but the figures are not the main objects of expression; Theme characters regard characters as the core content of the picture, and express specific themes with their images and emotions.
