Chinese painting is one of the oldest continuous artistic traditions in the world, dating back to Stone Age pottery designs. Traditional Chinese painting involves using a brush dipped in black or colored ink on materials like paper or silk, without use of oils. The two main techniques are meticulous court-style painting and freestyle ink wash painting. Landscape painting is considered the highest form, with styles between the Five Dynasties and Northern Song periods focusing on black line drawings of mountains or soft, rubbed works of southern hills.

Two approaches to painting arts.
The development of Chinese painting took a different path to that of the West. In this very brief on the Chinese painting, we can see how culture, politics and society had shaped its development. In the West, religion and commissioning system have played a very important part in the history of western painting. Buddhism and Daoism in Chinese had the same kind of influence on Chinese paintings as its Western counterpart. But instead the imperial court and the intelligentsia were more important to the development of Chinese painting.
The two approaches were played to two different audiences. In the West it mainly aimed to the public and hang on palaces. In China paintings were appreciated in private, by individual and more likely to be found in library or private studies.

2. Chinese painting
• Chinese painting is one of the oldest continuous artistic
traditions in the world. The earliest paintings were not
representational but ornamental; they consisted of
patterns or designs rather than pictures. Stone Age
pottery was painted with spirals, zigzags, dots, or
animals. It was only during the Warring States Period
(403-221 B.C.) that artists began to represent the world
around them.
3. • Painting in the traditional style is known today in Chinese
as guó huà 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 of are paper and
silk. The finished work is then mounted on scrolls, which
can be hung or rolled up. Traditional painting also is
done in albums and on walls, lacquerwork, and other
media.
4. • The two main techniques in Chinese painting are:
• Meticulous - Gong-bi (工筆) often referred to as
"court-style" painting
• Freehand - Shui-mo (水墨) loosely termed
watercolour or brush painting. The Chinese character
"mo" means ink and "shui" means water. This style is
also referred to as "xie yi" (寫意) or freehand style.
• Artists from the Han (202 BC) to the Tang (618–906)
dynasties mainly painted the human figure. Much of what
we know of early Chinese figure painting comes from
burial sites, where paintings were preserved on silk
banners, lacquered objects, and tomb walls. Many early
tomb paintings were meant to protect the dead or help
their souls get to paradise. Others illustrated the
teachings of the Chinese philosopher Confucius, or
showed scenes of daily life.
5. • Many critics consider landscape to be the highest form of
Chinese painting. 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, 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.
