How much do you know about China's ink painting?

First of all, China's landscape painting is a special term for "landscape painting", that is to say, China's landscape painting has its own aesthetic tradition of landscape painting, with mountains, water, trees, rocks, clouds, fog, cars, boats, houses, buildings, people, birds and animals as the painting subjects. This subject basically matured in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, and reached a peak in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Scenery, as its name implies, is characterized by scenery. The trees and clouds are the deputy, and the house map is the ornament, but the small is the big, and there are many things. China's landscape painting is not a western "landscape painting". Because the West is traditionally based on sketching, and landscape painting is a true depiction of wild scenery, the development of this painting style is no different from that of China's landscape painting, which is later than that of figure painting.

Western landscape painting didn't develop until18th century, which was about 1000 years later than that of China. Traditionally, China landscape painting was founded by Wang Wei in Tang Dynasty. In fact, there were landscape paintings in the Sui Dynasty before Wang Wei. However, whether in Sui Dynasty or in Tang Dynasty, Wang Wei's landscape painting in this period was still in an immature period. Although Du Fu recorded it in his poems, there were already landscape paintings in the Tang Xuanzong period, and there were also landscape paintings in the court. But in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, China's landscape paintings were basically mature, especially.

The Yuan Dynasty was the heyday of China's landscape painting, and Huang's Fuchun was a pearl in the crown of China's ancient landscape painting. China's landscape painting is not a landscape sketch, but a spiritual "landscape" that unifies people's thoughts and artistic aesthetic principles according to the basic laws of nature. This is the unity of ideal beauty and natural beauty that western painting can't achieve, but Chinese painting can, which is the perfect unity of traditional aesthetics and artistic thought.
