Tang Dai's "Painting Events And Micro" has a saying: "Art becomes down, and the Tao becomes up." This means that "painting things", technical achievements are inferior, and moral achievements are superior.

Modern people mostly take the image and dissimilarity, the similarity and dissimilarity of the "painting thing" as the pursuit of painting theory. Without asking for roots, without explaining the "painting things" in detail. Even if there are occasional people who use "freehand" as a talking point, they are just empty talk, and they do not really understand the true meaning of "freehand"! The reason why Chinese painting appears freehand is not because the painter does not care about the authenticity of the form, but because the painting is not to record the form of the object, but to explore the mystery of the natural universe. Although, in the process of learning, the requirements for skills are very rigorous, and there are many rules for the presentation of pen and ink. But these are just for the sake of finding the way. You know, you can't read, you can't read, you can't walk thousands of miles, and you can't know that mountains and rivers are not a single face. Xi Pen and Ink, The Sages, just to lay a good foundation, so that they can build a building that "does what they want".

The interpretation of art is explained in the "Later Han Shu Fu Zhan Biography": "In the first year of Yonghe, Zhao Wuji and Huang Jing of The Huilang huang jing fixed the Five Classics of the Zhongshu, the Hundred Sons, and art. Li Xian's note: "Yi shu, counting, shooting, yu, shu means medicine, fang, bu, zheng." "Therefore, art is a comprehensive cultivation. It is not the practice of pure skills, but the precipitation of comprehensive cultivation. To put it bluntly, simply can write, can count, can shoot arrows, just the practice of "skills" and simple use of life, the practice is nothing more than that the words are written beautifully, the numbers are accurate, and the arrows are accurate. However, when applying to the real scene, the writing is beautiful, and it is not seen that it has charm and is born, and the number is calculated accurately; if it is not seen, it is counted; the arrow is accurate, and it is only a target, if it moves, it is impossible to determine the target. However, it is presented in the concept and theory of art, and the word will be led by the Tao, and the rhyme will be angry; the number of uses shall prevail, and modern technology will be born; archery is not aimed at a fixed target, but to study the power of the bow, the movement of the target, the particularity of the environment, and so on.

The name of painting is derived from painting and from drawing memories. However, its "fame" does stem from the re-integration with culture in the development of civilization. That is, after the origin of civilization, the diagram and the text go their separate ways, but in the process of advancing the road, they encounter each other and then merge. The morality between the lines of the "text" and the pen and ink meaning generated by the picture naturally resonate. Although each does their best, it is indeed the same. It is all for the analysis of nature, for the progress and development of civilization. This is also why Tang Dai has the words of "art is down, the tao is up"!
