Literati paintings are all talking about. But what is a literati painting, few people can tell. There are those who can explain, and they are nothing more than paintings painted by literati, or paintings with strong freehand forms. However, these explanations are not the core conditions of literati painting. What is the specific literati painting, the most appropriate explanation is Chen Shizeng's "The Value of Chinese Literati Painting", saying that literati painters, the first is to have "character". The second is to have "genius." The third is to have "learning." After knowing these three points, if you look at the paintings of today's humanistic people, you will find that they are not worthy of the name.

The development of Chinese painting is staged, but literati painting runs through the entire era. However, the purity of painting art began in the Yuan Dynasty, and the standard characteristics of literati painting began to take shape in its entirety. The value of painting "supreme" has also been established since then. But it was not until Chen Shizeng's "The Value of Chinese Literati Painting" that the conditions possessed by literati painters were explained in figurative terms.

Literati painting is actually just a title, which is the title of the height of Chinese painting. It is understandable that if the painting of Chinese painting does not reach the presentation of literati painting, it can only be called a painter or painter. If today's painters take literati painting as a reference, it can be said that there are no painters in this era. In this way, many painters may not be convinced, because they all think that they are painting literati paintings. However, if according to What Master Chen once said, one by one, the conditions are laid out, who can say that he is a literati painter without any illusion. As far as the "character" column is concerned, when filling in, if it is not against your heart, you can "Paz" to drop most of the people; the rest, and then use "genius" to screen out the vast majority of people; "learning" this item and then fight, the rest is rare.

In fact, painters, there is no need to look to the literati painters to lean on. Because literati painting is not produced in the brush, but embodied in their own comprehensive cultivation. As long as you cultivate your own character in the process of painting, enlighten your own thinking, and enrich your own knowledge. You will naturally become a literati painter. However, whether you are a literati painter or not is not that you think that you can call it when you have cultivated at home, but that the academic circles and critics have identified you. They address you in their own academic papers or in art reviews.
