Features: Line drawing is an independent painting genre with the warp as the means of shaping, and it is also an important element of Chinese painting. "White" means plain, referring to depicting objects using a single color—ink. This depiction is not a mere copy of the object, but rather shaping it with lines. These lines are not simple outlines; instead, they are lines with variations in rigidity and flexibility, lightness and heaviness, speed and slowness, length and shortness, thickness and thinness, density and sparsity, and concentration and dilution. They can artistically express the form, volume, space, texture, and spiritual appearance of objects, making them leap off the paper.
