The history of Chinese painting can be traced back to the Neolithic Age, with a history of at least 7,000 years. The earliest Chinese paintings were painted on pottery, the ground and rock walls, and gradually developed to paintings on walls, silk and paper. The basic tools used are brushes and ink, as well as natural mineral pigments. Under the continuous exploration and innovation of countless painters, a distinct national style and national style have gradually formed, and it has its own independent painting aesthetic system.

The core of Chinese painting lies in "brush and ink", which is the medium for artists to express their emotions and thoughts. Through the lifting and pressing of the brush, the thickness and wetness of the ink, the painter not only depicts the natural scene, but also conveys the inner feelings and understanding of the world. In terms of technique, Chinese painting is divided into two categories: "fine brushwork" and "freehand brushwork": the former expresses details with fine lines and delicate colors, while the latter pursues simplicity and artistic conception, emphasizing "the idea comes before the brush", and winning more with less.

More importantly, Chinese painting is not only a visual art, but also a manifestation of philosophy and culture. It is deeply influenced by Confucianism, Taoism and Zen thought, pursuing the realm of "harmony between man and nature" and emphasizing the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. Painters express their thoughts on life, time and the universe through themes such as landscapes, flowers and birds, and figures, making each work a dialogue between nature and humanity.
