What are the characteristics of Chinese painting?

Chinese painting has four characteristics: conception, modeling, composition and artistic conception, as follows:

The conception of Chinese painting: First, the conception is thorough. Chinese painting creation, whether painting landscapes, figures or flowers and birds, will take conception as the first priority.

Modeling of Chinese painting: line modeling is vivid in form, and Chinese painting is in the form of line, through which the outline, texture and volume are drawn. Chinese painting has accumulated a very rich line type, cleverly depicting various images, whether it is the broken line of mountains and rivers or the line of clothes. "Writing God in Form" is a famous saying of Gu Kaizhi, a painter in Jin Dynasty, which established China's aesthetic view that artistic god is superior to form. Chinese painting is very different from modern European aesthetics, which is purely abstract, that is, painting people is not only similar, but also higher than god, painting people's mental outlook, not only stopping at the simulation of appearance, but also not sticking to the truth of nature.

Composition of Chinese painting: multi-point perspective, counting white as black is the composition rule of Chinese painting. Chinese painting not only uses focus perspective, but also uses scattered perspective, which not only strictly adheres to the real space and white cloth, but also breaks the real space and white cloth according to the needs of composition, so that when objects appear in the picture, they can change their positions according to the artistic needs of the physical objects on the picture.

Artistic conception of Chinese painting: blending scenes and vivid charm are the artistic conception of Chinese painting. Chinese painting requires the combination of pen and ink, emotion and scenery. In reality, there are infinitely rich scenes, and the painter has a strong image appeal. The painter should rely on this feeling to arouse the passion of describing the scene, and the work should be reproduced as a copy of the scene, so that the scene can be integrated. Vivid charm, that is, the artistic spirit created by the painter, is different from ordinary sketch painting, and should be vibrant, fresh and lively, poetic and picturesque, which makes the viewer fascinated.
