Chinese painting is in the form of lines, through which outlines, textures and volumes are drawn. Goethe, a German poet, said that art uses light to express its vivid expressions, and visible light is one of the modeling means in western painting. Chinese painting, on the other hand, is dominated by line modeling, which clearly distinguishes between Chinese and western painting in modeling means. However, this does not mean that western painting completely rejects the use of lines, but that light can be used as the main language of painting. French Rodin once emphasized that "a prescribed line runs through the universe", which refers to how plastic arts break away from the universe, and did not regard it as the main means of expression of painting. Traditional Chinese painting, on the other hand, has accumulated a very rich line type and skillfully portrayed various images, whether it is the broken lines of mountains and rivers or the lines 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. It is very different from modern European aesthetics, which is purely abstract, that is, painting people is not only similar in shape, but also similar in spirit, drawing people's mental outlook, not stopping at the simulation of shape, not sticking to the truth of nature. This theory is the height that artists should strive to reach when establishing art. Under the guidance of this theory, many outstanding works with vivid descriptions have appeared in the past dynasties, which has become an important standard to guide painting.
In the creation of Chinese painting, conception is the first, and many painting theorists first emphasize this point, whether painting landscapes, figures or flowers and birds.
Artistic conception: it is the emotional appeal expressed in the picture after the painter's conception is merged with the depicted image.
The artistic conception of Chinese painting is very implicit. The ancients painted pines, plums and chrysanthemums because they were not afraid of the cold and dared to fight the snow. Western landscape painting is purely for the beauty of the picture, without any implication. composition
Western painting is generally based on "Huang Jinlv", that is, the ratio of length to width is about 5 to 3. Relatively lack of change.

Oil painting is an exotic product, which has experienced a long development process, but it was in the fifteenth century that the complete oil painting art was truly formed. As early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, although China also produced the technology of matching oil and pigment, some western scholars thought that the technology of blending vegetable oil pigment was spread to the west from China, but China oil painting did not develop, and finally the art of oil painting was formed in Europe.
