Zhang Geng in Qing Dynasty said: "Painting, painting things, have colors since ancient times, and they are all green." Dong Tang said in the Yuan Dynasty: "Li Sixun painted landscapes, reflecting them with golden jade, which is the family law." During the Southern Song Dynasty, there were two Zhao (Bo Ju and Bo Jun) who were good at painting green water. Landscape painting with mineral azurite and stone green as the main colors. There are big turquoise and small turquoise.

The former has more hooks, fewer strokes, strong coloring and strong decoration; The latter is dominated by the light color of ink and wash. Green mountains and green waters are famous far and wide. China's landscape painting is color painting first, followed by ink painting. In color-coded painting, there are heavy colors first, then light colors.

A landscape painting. On the basis of ink painting, a light-colored landscape painting with ochre as the main tone was laid. "Biography of Mustard Seed Garden" said: "Yellow is like a jade surface, and ochre is the best color. It is shallow and sometimes outlined with ochre pen.

Clay gold, azurite and azurite in China's painting pigments.

However, The Brief Discussion on Painting in the Ming Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty holds another view: "Those who cover gold and jade: the stone is green, that is, the green landscape is also green. Later generations don't pay attention to it, but mud gold is called golden pen landscape. It's ridiculous that the husband is in the name of gold and silver! "
