The origins of traditional Chinese painting, are fully within the distant history of China. Generally speaking, works dating from before the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) are mainly drawings of people engaged in various activities, which was the golden age "of human figure drawing. In the middle of the T'ang dynasty, landscape and flower and bird paintings began their importance increase. Paintings of mountains, forests, fields and gardens have the ability to transport one away from the vexations of the material world into a peaceful realm, free of worry. Therefore, landscape paintings have always been appreciated by scholars of China and the bureaucracy. The flowers, the grass. trees. stones, birds and other animals depicted in flowers of life and assets, and bird paintings are also widely admired. Thus, the landscape and flowers and bird types of painting, along with the human figure above table, includes three main categories of traditional Chinese painting.
The decision and classes Elite Tang and Song (960-1279 AD) dynasties were major supporters of Chinese painting. The purpose of creating art works produced during this period was more serious and political importance and style of education, the works tend to be designed and decorated. The court of the Sung dynasty, established an academy rather well systematized painting. Sung Emperor Hui Tsung, a lover of fine arts and painting, and an accomplished artist in his own name, gave the special patronage of painters academia, and sponsored the training of promising painters. The Academy painting reached the pinnacle of his activity in this period.
However, because of the progressive men of social, economic and cultural points and started doing more painting and literature began to exert increasing influence on the painting. At the time of the famous Sung poet Su Shih, the literati school of painting had emerged. For the Mongol Yuan dynasty (1271-1368 AD) there was a formal organization Academy of Painting at the Imperial Palace, so the court style of painting declined. At this stage, the school of painting letters between the public and the ruling circles Chinese painting has fallen into the hands of the literati painters.
Scholars generally prefer to paint according to your own imagination and unrestricted, and advocates new, free, sober and elegant. The material that inclusions fan of mountains and rocks, clouds and water, flowers and trees, "four gentlemen" (flower plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemums), and so on. Since natural objects, as these issues are less challenging to paint the human figure, the painter can improve exploit the potential of brush and ink for free expression.
Whether Chinese painting is "realistic" is the subject of frequent debate. Some may think that is unrealistic, but that answer only part of the story. Realism in Chinese painting reached its climax in the painting of the dynasties Tang and Song. However, the type of "realism" sought in Chinese painting does not reflect the objective existence of an object perceived by the senses of sight, but is rather the expression of a subjective kind of recognition or understanding.
For example, no effort is made to represent in the shadows of a certain type of lighting in a given place and time in the clothing of the people depicted in the painting of the Sung Che Kan T'u, and for this reason painting does not have a clear effect in three dimensions. Following the lines of a painter in the role of government, which he used watercolor techniques to achieve a chiaroscuro effect of light and dark, representing the forces of "Yin" and "yang" to express his understanding of eternal excellence of the nature of its subject. One grower paintings from the perspective of objective principles should, in theory, it seems more necessary to reduce front and rear, which reflects the perceived decline in the relative size of the faintest objects. But the front and rear of an actual planter are of equal length, and this knowledge is incorporated into the physical world the painter's image of Che Kan T'u created: the farmer is portrayed as a flat surface with the slides that are of equal length.
In another work, Splash ink called Immortal ", of the Sung Liang K'ai artist, the artist wanted to represent not only a man in the street, but another world, alone, and It was therefore appropriate to use an ordinary human being as a model. Forms very unusual, even strange in this picture, with its bold strokes and without restrictions, simply by providing Legislation fund to compensate the features of this very special person. This painting is representative of the "freehand brushstroke" school of painting Traditional Chinese.
The fundamental component of Chinese painting is the line, as in Chinese calligraphy. Because of this common feature, these two arts which, starting of a very ancient times, a close relationship. At the time of counsel's painting became popular in the Yuan dynasty, men of letters who painted put knowledge further effort, reaffirming the link to Chinese calligraphy, and has actively conducted a tendency to fuse calligraphy, and actively led the trend to merge the calligraphy and painting. And the close relationship between poetry and painting was formed under the strong influence of literature in the paint. Academic-state and literati led fusion of poetry and painting, and this has spread to the academy of painting. The Empror Sung Hui Tsung is known for using poetry to test painters their ability to express with ink and paper into the enchanted world created in verse writing.
While traditional Chinese painting still occupies an important place in the lives of modern Chinese, many painters now desire to express their experience new times. By combining new modes of expression with the techniques of painting Chinese traditional, open a new art form of great world.
