2. The old tale
A wonderful old tale is told about the painter Wu Daozi. His last painting was a landscape
commissioned by the Tang Emperor Xuanzong ,to decorate a palace wall . The master had hidden his
work behind a screen so only the emperor would see it. For a long time , the emperor admired the
beautiful painting .One day painter clapped his hands and the door to a cave opened . When the painter
entered the cave , it closed from the outside. Before the astonished emperor could utter a word the
painting vanished from the wall.

3. • A Classical Chinese painting is not mean to reproduce actual view .
A Chinese painter does not choose a single view point . This is even true in the case of the
horizontal scroll. In which the action of slowly opening one section of the painting, then
rolling it up to move on the other, adds a dimension of time unknown in any other form of
painting .
THE Chinese Painter does not want you to borrow his eyes; he wants you to enterhis mind . The
landscapeis an inner one, a spiritual and conceptualspace

4. Traditionalpainting
 Traditional Chinese painting involves essentially the same techniques as Chinese
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 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

5. Philosophical portraits
 Artists from the Han to the Tang dynasties mainly painted the human figure. Much of
what is known 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 philosopherConfucius, or
showed scenes of daily life. Most Chinese portraits showed a formal full-length
frontal view, and were used in the family in ancestor veneration. Imperial portraits
were more flexible, but were generally not seen outside the court, and portraiture
formed no part of Imperial propaganda, as in other cultures.
