  Chinese painting - the harmony of mind and feelings
  “Painting is the poetry which gained a form” are the words, the ancient Chinese landscape-painter Guo Xi used to describe Chinese painting. There can be seen a reflection of slightest nuances in it: a butterfly's wings flap, a movement of sands in the desert, a noise of wind.
  Chinese painting as a form of fine arts has its own unique traditions and history. It is believed that the origin of Chinese painting belongs to the period of Chang Kuo ("Warring States").
  However, its basic canons were established much later in the V-VIII centuries. In particular, it was the period, when Chinese artists began to use ink.

  This period saw the genesis of different trends in painting: the portrait genre, natural sceneries, as well as pictures of animals and birds. All this was depicted in ink or plant-based watercolor. Chinese artists mainly drew their paintings on silk or special rolls of specific paper, which could be either vertical (to decorate the walls) or horizontal.

  At the core of Chinese painting there is a linear pattern. This feature is directly related to traditional Chinese calligraphy, which is also a kind of visual art in its own way.

  Chinese philosophies also had an influence on visual arts. Thus the image of water symbolizes different variations of the divine Providence, while that of stones - the world of the spirits. There is also a tradition to depict plants and trees. Of special reverence is bamboo, which is associated with the Confucian and Taoist philosophies.
  Chinese painting is very symbolic. Each element has a certain meaning, which the author has put into it, but the main idea of the whole picture is the harmony of mind and senses, man and nature.

  Chinese painting is one of the oldest continuous artistic traditions in the world.
  Painting in the traditional style is known today in Chinese as guóhuà (Traditional Characters: 国画, Simplified Characters:国画), meaning 'national' or 'native painting', as opposed to Western styles of art which became popular in China in the 20th century. Traditional painting involves essentially the same techniques as calligraphy and is done with a brush dipped in black or colored ink; oils are not used. As with calligraphy, the most popular materials on which paintings are made are paper and silk. The finished work can be mounted on scrolls, such as hanging scrolls or handscrolls. Traditional painting can also be done on album sheets, walls, lacquerware, folding screens, and other media.
  The two main techniques in Chinese painting are:
  Gong-bi (工笔), meaning "meticulous", uses highly detailed brushstrokes that delimits details very precisely. It is often highly coloured and usually depicts figural or narrative subjects. It is often practised by artists working for the royal court or in independent workshops.
  Ink and wash painting, in Chinese Shui-mo or (水墨[1]) also loosely termed watercolour or brush painting, and also known as "literati painting", as it was one of the "Four Arts" of the Chinese Scholar-officialclass.[2] In theory this was an art practiced by gentlemen, a distinction that begins to be made in writings on art from the Song dynasty, though in fact the careers of leading exponents could benefit considerably.[3] This style is also referred to as "xie yi" (写意) or freehand style.
  Landscape painting was regarded as the highest form of Chinese painting, and generally still is.[4] The time from the Five Dynasties period to the Northern Song period (907–1127) is known as the "Great age of Chinese landscape". In the north, artists such as Jing Hao, Li Cheng, Fan Kuan, and Guo Xi painted pictures of towering mountains, using strong black lines, ink wash, and sharp, dotted brushstrokes to suggest rough stone. In the south, Dong Yuan, Juran, and other artists painted the rolling hills and rivers of their native countryside in peaceful scenes done with softer, rubbed brushwork. These two kinds of scenes and techniques became the classical styles of Chinese landscape painting.
