Traditional Chinese Painting
Most people agree that traditional Chinese painting is very beautiful.In my opinion,the reasons why people like it are as follows.
First,the Chinese painting is known for its brush drawings in black inks and natural colours.Traditional Chinese painting styles are closer to reality and easier to understand while most western modern paintings are too strange to be understood.Besides,there are many famous traditional Chinese painters,one of whom is Qi Baishi.His paintings of little shrimps are loved by many people.Another China’s b est known artist is Xu Beihong.He also follows the traditional Chinese style.He is the most famous for his lively paintings of horses,which look so alive.What’s more,an important feature of traditional Chinese painting is the perfect combination of pictures,poems,calligraphy and seals.This also adds beauty to the paintings.
That’s why so many people are fond of traditional Chinese painting.。
