In the art of Chinese painting with a hundred flowers blooming, there is a special painting method of dipping ink with a brush instead of a traditional tool with a finger, which is called finger painting. When it comes to referring to the famous painters, gao Qipei, the first painter of the Qing Dynasty. According to the "Records of Paintings of the National Dynasty" written by Zhang Pushan in the Qing Dynasty, "Gao Andyuan (Qipei) is good at finger painting, painting people, landscapes, flowers and birds, fish and insects, bird heads, super talented, curious and interesting, easy to get, and the four sides are important." It can be seen that Gao Qipei's finger painting is high and the influence is deep.
Finger painting first sprouted in the Tang Dynasty, according to the Qing Dynasty painter Zou Yigui in the "Small Mountain Painting Spectrum": Tang Dynasty painter Wang Qia "with ink splash finger prime, or chant or whistle, foot and hand, with its shape, for the mountain stone cloud water" . Although the Tang Dynasty was the embryonic period of finger painting, there are no records of the word finger painting and comments on finger painting, let alone any surviving works.
Subsequently, through the three dynasties of Song, Yuan and Ming, under the influence of traditional painting techniques, finger painting has not been developed. In the early Kangxi period of the Early Qing Dynasty, the painter Gao Qipei founded finger painting after the former qi, and Fang Chu saw the beginning, whether it was figures, landscapes, flowers and trees, fish and dragons, birds and beasts, etc. can be painted with fingers. Li Zaiting of the Qing Dynasty said in the "In the Pavilion Series": "Painting with fingers begins with the high-speed rail ridge to make Junweizhi. "Gao Wei is Gao Qipei.
Gao Qipei (1660-1734), also known as Wei Zhi, And Yuan, Nancun, etc., was a native of Tieling, Liaoning, and Li Eel, one of the "Eight Monsters of Yangzhou", and Gao Fenghan, who was also a Yangzhou school of painting, studied under him. Gao Qipei is good at painting poetry, and the landscape figures he paints are more influenced by the Ming Dynasty painter Wu Wei, and the flower and bird scholars Chen Lin and Zhang Shouzhong. Gao Qipei also used a traditional brush to paint in his early years, and after middle age, because he did not form his own style for a long time, he began to abandon the pen and use his fingers, and he did not expect to become a generation of famous artists, and was respected by later generations as the "originator of finger painting".
Gao Qipei's finger painting subjects are all-encompassing, with landscapes, figures, flowers, insects and birds, or majestic, or subtle depictions, creating various expression techniques of finger painting, and giving full play to the Chinese painting art style of "painting with full intention" and "intended to be outside the painting". For example, Gao Qipei's "Pine Eagle Diagram" collected in the Shanghai Museum shows the strong quality of the old tree and the fluffy feathers of the crouching eagle with the thick and light dry and wet pen and ink that are randomly dyed by the finger painting method, and the thick and thin lines that do not show the pen marks. Only to see the pine needles appear, the eagles come to life, the movement in the stillness, the ancient clumsiness is full of vitality, and the charm is especially outside the finger ink.

Finger paintings are mostly based on the index finger, supplemented by thumbs and little fingers, and four fingers, palms, and the back of the hand are used together when splashing ink. The fingers of the right hand are generally used, and the fingernails must be trimmed from time to time, and being too long or too bald can hinder painting. When painting, a relatively large brush stroke can be made by dipping the ink or color in the abdomen of the finger, and a relatively subtle brush stroke can be made by dipping the fingernail into the ink or color. Sometimes two or three fingers can be used together to draw thicker strokes, or the fingers can be painted horizontally, mainly with the thumb and index finger. Finger painting is suitable for more extensive freehand painting, and the emphasis is on the use of ink, the shades and shades are integrated, and there are fewer hard traces of pen and ink portrayal compared with brush strokes.
Finger painting is based on strokes, and you must first learn to draw with brushes before you can further learn finger painting. In his early years, Gao Qipei laid the foundation for painting with a brush, touched the bypass, and developed to a special finger painting, which was easy to wield and freely, and there was a saying of "dozens of paintings in an instant". Gao Qipei left behind a small number of works such as inscriptions and paintings, poetry scrolls, bucket squares, and poetry scrolls, but there are many finger paintings and are collected by many museums.
Regarding finger painting techniques, Gao Bing, a Qing dynasty, elaborated in his painting treatise "Finger Painting Theory" about Gao Qipei's finger painting pen, ink, dipping color, rendering, etc., and its characteristics such as paper, plutonium printing and dyeing, and inscriptions, which has a saying: "Using the finger to abolish the author, it is difficult to use the pen everywhere, the finger can transmit its god, and the finger is everywhere, the pen can not reach it... Ink whiskers are used to five colors and transported without marks, Si is a clever hand, referring to the traceless part of the ink, especially in nature, so it can write a pen head to the ground. "The characteristics of visible finger painting are mainly the use of finger ink, whether it is lines or color, it is more flexible and changeable than painting with pen.
As a unique expression method, finger painting is unique through Gao's creation, which is innovative and interesting, and is a strange plant in the hundred gardens of Chinese painting.
