Features: The essays collected in this book are the results of the author's comprehensive research on the tradition of ancient Chinese painting, combined with specific time, place, objects, and conditions, and tailored to the needs of today's reference and promotion. The core of the book revolves around the transformation of Chinese painting from "painterly" art to "calligraphic" literati painting, from focusing on the "fundamental methods of painting" to emphasizing "extra-painting skills," and from emphasizing the social function of "common names" to highlighting the self-expression function of "different names." This reflects the author's research characteristics and methods of "practical art history."
