The Connotation of China's Traditional Artistic Spirit

The spiritual connotation of any art is combined with the national characteristics of this country and the religious or philosophical system that this nation believes in.

In China, there is no strong religion, but Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have played an important role in society in different periods.

Looking at the connotation of China's traditional artistic spirit means looking at the development of the philosophical system and its traces in art, in short, the artistic conception.

China's ink-and-wash traditional Chinese painting pays more attention to meaning than form, and its brushwork is diverse. Although it is not very accurate, its artistic conception is far away.

China's calligraphy is even more so. Why Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting is the first running script, and Yan Zhenqing's Affidavit of My Nephew is the second running script? It is precisely because of Wang Xizhi's drunkenness that he writes and writes in one go, like Youlong and Jing Hong. After receiving his nephew's head, Yan Zhenqing was filled with grief and indignation and wrote the eulogy.

These two stickers show that artistic conception is the essence of China's art.
