Features: Rock painting materials have long existed in the excellent tradition of Chinese painting. Throughout history, they have shone brilliantly. However, they have gradually been neglected and forgotten. This material from Chinese tradition should be developed and promoted on the mainland of China. With it, traditional painting may find a breakthrough from within, breaking through the long-standing classical aesthetic conventions and connecting with modern artistic concepts, knowledge structures, and aesthetic tastes. Ultimately, it will face the world with an open mind. For the Chinese art world, whether rock painting will become a new talent in the garden of Chinese art is not important. What matters is that this material from the national tradition may help our national painting find a breakthrough from within. This is a breakthrough from closed thinking frameworks and rigid aesthetic tastes, giving us a sense of anticipation and hope to gradually move away from old mediums and step into new, unknown realms. Our ancient national painting will ultimately face the world and integrate into an open, free, and diverse modern civilization.
