A Brief Introduction to Chinese Paintings

First of all I would like to say that for us in architecture, it is more beneficial to know about Chinese paintings. Various types of Chinese paintings first give people a mood of beauty and musical beauty, in making people in the understanding of the painting at the same time, but also to get the exercise of aesthetic ability

In this I will talk about their understanding of Chinese painting, I think that understanding of Chinese painting should be understood first of all the emergence of Chinese paintings, the development of its inner spirit

Landscape painting sprouted in the Jin Dynasty, Gu Kaizhi in the "Wei and Jin Shengliu Painting Praise," in the first sentence is "Where painting, people are the most difficult, the second landscape, the second dog and horse" landscape painting has become a major expression of the subject matter, I think that people know too much about people themselves to feel that each painting of people's speech expression is not satisfactory, landscape can be exaggerated to express the momentum of its mood can be expressed, the dog and horse must only be expressed in its form only from the Gu Kai Zhi's only landscape painting "Luoshen Fu Tu" in the Can be seen at the time of the landscape painting early form of the tip, basically as the Tang Dynasty Zhang Yanyuan in the "Records of Famous Paintings Throughout the Ages" recorded the appearance of the landscape part of the Transmission of the "Luoshen Fu Figure", indeed, as he said "the peaks of the potential, if the finely decorated rhinoceros antagonist", or "water is not allowed to pan, the people in the mountains! "Whether it is landscape or trees and rocks, are manifested as a high degree of generalization, such as the performance of the tree, the ginkgo tree is only symbolic to three or five ginkgo biloba generalization, the tree branches of the "column planting of the shape" is also "if the God's arm cloth finger, from the real life of the actual printing line of trees have a great distance! As I said before, "all paintings, people are the most difficult, followed by landscape, followed by dogs and horses". The rocks are only "high ancient silk" line outline, and no chapping, but I think the water and cloud law performance is extremely pure, water and cloud flow of momentum is quite perfect, which shows that the performance of landscape painting at that time has reached the level of art is just not the layout of the later reasonable

The early stage of the landscape paintings is often the character of the background of the activities, the scenery, even if it is the background, the background of the activities, the scenery, the background, the background, the background, the background, the background. The early landscape painting is often the background of the activities of the characters, the background, even if independent of a specialized painting is also need a development process, landscape painting in the early stage of this form is not surprising, although we can no longer get to see the six dynasties of the landscape painting works and in the history of the early landscape painter is not a lot of people, gu kaizhi, zong bing, wang wei, etc. on the development of the theory of landscape painting for the development of the world of the development and maturity of the landscape painting for the theory of the development and preparation for the history of the landscape painting. During the Sui, Tang, and Five Dynasties, landscape painting flourished. They can be called the pioneer of landscape painting, the six dynasty period is the real starting point of Chinese landscape painting, although it is the darkest political period in Chinese history, but led to the most splendid aesthetics, I think this should be attributed to the hermits who could not bear to witness the lime of the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting at that time and at that time, similar to the Tao Oh Yuanming, Xie Lingyun of the hermitage ideas are generally popular at this time people have a deeper understanding of the beauty of nature and more to promote the development of Chinese landscape painting, Xie Lingyun's "landscape painting", the development of the landscape painting, the development of Chinese painting. The development of Xie Lingyun "Mountain Dwelling Fugue" recorded in the Beginning of Mount Ninh is a typical example, his landscape poetry opened up the aesthetic path of realistic landscape poetry, Wang Wei's "poetry has a painting, painting has a poem," also illustrates the development of Chinese landscape painting is also beneficial to the development of poetry and derivation.

Another important reason for the rise of landscape painting during the Six Dynasties was the development of the artists themselves. Artists before Khan often appeared as craftsmen they all relied on the craft of painting to make a living, painting is utilitarian, must be created around the requirements of the service object, but also to varying degrees to promote the development of landscape painting

Saying that the spirit inherent in the landscape painting, Chinese landscape painting puts great emphasis on the author's subjective factors, in the creation of landscape painting, the author's knowledge and understanding of the natural world, as well as the author's emotional outflow is Playing a leading role, the painter should "feelings into the painting" and strive for "scenario integration", just as in a landscape painting on the title of a poem or more than one red poke can increase the inner spirit and connotation of landscape painting, in the object of the world has a multi-faceted and deep understanding of the basis of the feelings of the heart summarized sketch On the basis of a multi-faceted deep understanding of the object world, with the feelings of the mind to outline the image of the landscape, it is "to think of the wonderful" Many excellent landscape works reveal the temperament and elegant style, not only because the author has a profound ink and brushwork, but also more importantly, the author has a passion for creativity and deep literary cultivation. Therefore, the higher the knowledge of landscape painters, the greater the creative force. Tang Dynasty landscape painter, the higher the knowledge, the greater the creative force, such as "outside the teacher, in the source of the heart", "searching for strange peaks in the draft" are advocated to go to life, to practice.

Appreciation of Chinese landscape painting I think we should first understand the inner spirit of Chinese landscape painting, Chinese landscape painting is a valuable crystallization of the artistic knowledge of the Chinese nation, is an important part of the splendid Chinese culture, in the process of its own development, and gradually formed a complete and independent art system, so the nationalities of the Chinese landscape painting is one of the most notable characteristics of the Chinese landscape painting, the Chinese landscape painting embodied the unique aesthetic taste of the Chinese people. Chinese landscape painting embodies the unique aesthetic interests of the Chinese people, i.e. simplicity, serenity, subtlety and rhythm, etc.

In fact, landscape painting has been related to other Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism from the very beginning, and the influence of Buddhism's Zen on the creation of Chinese landscape paintings is worth discussing, which has no continuity and order, and is recognized as being able to have a spontaneous comprehension of the spirit, which is actually a liberation from the sorrows of the world and the exclusion of psychological barriers. These are precisely what Chinese landscape painters have been striving for

Buddhism is the system of thought that has had the greatest influence on Chinese culture, and Confucius first put forward the idea that "those who are benevolent are happy with the mountains, and those who are wise are happy with the water", which is an evaluation of landscapes based on moral values, but this aesthetic quest for nature objectively goes beyond the realm of morality, and the beauty of neutralization constitutes the foundation of Chinese culture. The profound ideological connotation of Chinese landscape painting is a direct causal relationship with classical Chinese philosophy. Painting cannot be without philosophical thinking, and painting without philosophical thinking is painting without a soul.

To paint a landscape, one must first have a valley in one's chest. "The idea is first in the brush" is the characteristic of Chinese painting composition, and the idea should follow the brush after it is put down. We can not ignore the profound influence of Taoism here, traditional Chinese painters in long-term art practice are consciously and unconsciously by the subtle cultivation. Painting in the pen should consider a variety of yin and yang relationship, to contrast this harmonious treatment, such as square and round, horizontal and straight, point and line, rigid and soft, thick and thin, warm and cold, light and heavy, virtual and real and so on. The mountain is static, the water is moving; stone is stubborn, the tree is alive spirit" is the so-called landscape of static and dynamic, stubborn and spirit, are all in nature there are a variety of yin and yang rhythmic relationship, as a landscape painter if not consciously to consciously use these relationships, the pen can be like a god

In fact, from a personal point of view, I feel that there is a great connection between shoddy writing, sketching, gouache and landscape painting, its light and dark, line rigidity, and so on.

The history of Chinese painting is to carry on the past and the future, we should work together to make the traditional Chinese painting more prosperous
