Chinese painting, as one of the traditional Chinese painting art forms, has a wide influence and recognition all over the world. Although the brushwork and expression of Chinese painting are very important, what is more central is the "meaning" it contains. When Chinese painters paint, they often take "meaning" as the main starting point, and brush and ink are only a way to express this artistic conception.
The "meaning" of Chinese painting refers to the emotions, thoughts, and artistic conceptions that the painter wants to express. It is not only the theme and image presented on the picture, but also the expression of emotions and thoughts. A good Chinese painting work should not only have exquisite brushwork and excellent image, but more importantly, it must have profound connotation and strong appeal.
In Chinese painting, painters often use various techniques and techniques to express their artistic conception. For example, use color to express emotion, use lines to express movement and form, use composition to express ideas, and so on. Although these techniques are important in expressing artistic conception, they are not the core of Chinese painting, and they cannot replace the "meaning" that the painter wants to express.
One of the most common forms of expression in Chinese painting is freehand painting. The so-called freehand painting is to express the theme by expressing the artist's own emotions and artistic conception without being confined to the form and details of reality. Freehand painting is often based on artistic conception, not confined to form, leaving people with a poetic and philosophical feeling.
In addition to freehand painting, there are many other expressions of Chinese painting, such as gongbi painting, ink painting, light silk painting, and so on. Different forms of expression have different characteristics and expressions, but their core is to express the "meaning" of the painter.
In the history of the development of Chinese painting, many painters have taken the expression of their own "meaning" as their main pursuit. For example, Wu Daozi in the Tang Dynasty, his paintings mainly depict natural landscapes, but more importantly, the perception and spiritual pursuit of landscapes he expressed. The literati painters of the Song Dynasty took the expression of their emotions and artistic conception as their main purpose, and their paintings were often poetic and philosophical.
Nowadays, Chinese painting has become a part of the world cultural heritage, and its artistic value and cultural significance have been widely recognized. For Chinese painters, in order to create works with profound connotation and strong appeal, they must have an in-depth understanding and grasp of "meaning". Only on the basis of accurately expressing one's own emotions and thoughts can one convey them to the audience through the expression of brush and ink, leading them into the realm depicted by the painter.
The essence of Chinese painting lies in the "meaning" it contains, and brush and ink are only the means of expression. When creating, Chinese painters should take the expression of their emotions and artistic conception as their main pursuit, convey their "meaning" through different ways of expression, and create works with profound connotation and strong appeal.
