Chinese painting, pen and ink can be known, rules can be known, and qi rhyme is unattainable! Therefore, the painter paints thousands of paintings, but it is difficult to find a fine product. Now, the painter has three or five sheets a day, but he calls Zhang Zhang a fine product, and the canvas is vivid. Whether the painter has surpassed the ancients a lot now, or a kind of night lang arrogance, we are not good at making a comparison, but it is certain that in the picture, we can see these painters with three or five sheets a day, and the Chinese painting is "knowable" and angry and rhymed, have forgotten all about it. Although there are some painters who understand their reasoning, they have also been smoothed out by this society.

How to evaluate a painting as artistic has always been a topic of controversy, but the vividness of the picture is a consensus. However, the qi rhyme is vividly generated, and indeed there are different understandings. Basically, it can be divided into two schools, one is that it is vivid to depict the charm in realism, and the other is to conceive its qi in pen and ink, and to give birth to its god. Therefore, Chinese painting has, fine brushstrokes and freehand. However, since the fine brush is a work brush, it has broken the speculation of Chinese painting creation and theory that was once produced by the vivid rhyme.
The emergence of art is due to social needs, so the definition of all art categories must be based on sociality. Each discipline of art has its own cultural attributes, so the recognition of artistry is to be based on the social role it plays in the cultural field. Because of this, various art forms due to culture will appear. For example, painting has emerged due to the differences between Eastern and Western cultures, the difference between Chinese painting and Western painting, and so on. And the two paintings, because of the difference in their cultures, each has its own social role. Oil painting is moving in the direction of rationality and science, while Chinese painting is in the direction of sensibility and philosophy.
Chinese painting is divided into fine brushstrokes and freehand, which corresponds to the yin and yang of all things. Because there is no yin and yang, all things are not born. Chinese painting is inherited and developed in an environment of yin and yang. Therefore, Chinese painting, pen and ink can be known, the rules can be known, is the condition that causes the picture to be vivid. The knowability of Chinese painting is the commonality of fine brushstrokes and freehand. No matter whether it is done with a thin pen, when it is written with freehand, the pen and ink and the rules are unbreakable. However, since the fine pen is a work pen, the pen and ink possessed by the thin pen do not exist, and the pen and ink no longer exist in the rules. In this way, the yin and yang of Chinese painting are unbalanced, and the current era of decadence in Chinese painting art has emerged. "A thin pen is not a fine pen, and freehand is not freehand.".
