What are the painting arts of Chinese Buddhism?

The painting art of Chinese Buddhism mainly includes Buddhist paintings and murals. Buddhist paintings are paintings of Buddha or Bodhisattva, and Zhang Shengxiao of the Liang Dynasty, Cao Zhongda of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Wu Daozi of the Tang Dynasty all created unique styles of Buddhist paintings. Mural paintings are found in caves all over the world, and the main contents are the stories of Buddhist scriptures, the transformations of the Pure Land, and the statues of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Buddhist paintings and mural paintings are part of Chinese painting art, and Buddhist paintings have changed the inherent form of Chinese paintings, and Buddhist ideas have also had a very important influence on the idea of paintings and have contributed to the emergence of landscape paintings, which are based on the manifestation of purity and indifference, and the naivety and naturalness of the mountains and waters, and the emergence of an independent type of paintings. The influence of Zen Buddhism is particularly obvious.
