The Orgin Of The Idea Of "Painting Landscape"

The Southern Dynasties Tsung ping’s Hua shan-shui hsii(Introduction to Painting Landscape) is the cornerstone theory of Chinese landscape painting.ln this time,chinese officially began painting landscapes.In the history of Chinese painting, no department would have such a loud starting.This is because, figure painting and flower-and-bird painting have no intellectuals to search its legitimacy. In other words,there is no Chinese scholar-bureaucrat writing figure painting and flower-and-bird painting’s theory to explain why they going to draw these subject. But landscape painting is not, in the case of painting technique completely immature, by intellectuals At clear-cut and the outset of a sudden loud deterrent to the sound of history:"we want to paint landscapes!".This is a very strange phenomenon. Anyone who knows a little art history knowledge would known that, any theories of painting’s coming out, must be able to solve the basic language skills in painting technology has accumulated, then interact with the value system, and the painting theories appear. Such as the portrait’s theory, in six hundred years from the Chinese Warring States period to the Wei and Jin dynasties, portraits earliest mature technology. Thus, In the value system of replacement of the Wei and Jin dynasties, Gu Kaizhi ’s "chuan shen" theory coming out. Landscape painting on this general sense, turned out to be on very special. Because landscape painting technology is extremely immature, and its development is very slow, even to the the Five Dynasties late gradually flourished. So landscape painting’s anti-painting regular generation mode "theory first, practice after" characteristics and it from beginning to end is dominated by scholar-bureaucrat (pure scholar-bureaucrat Opinion) destined to become the core major of Chinese painting.. Why Chinese painting landscapes began in the Wei, Jin dynasties? Why Chinese write a Declaration of painting landscapes before painting landscapes? What is the theoretical foundation for this essay?These various questions on the origin of the concept of painting landscapes can only find out in this earliest landscape painting essay Hua shan-shui hsii. Due to traditional intellectuals,and even the new intellectuals do not attach importance to the painting theory, rough method, not deep recognition and for various reasons, researchers since the Mingguo dynasty haven’t find out Hua shan-shui hsii’s philosophical basis accurately, they label the philosophical concepts behind the essay were "Taoist" or "Zhuangzi". This paper have new method to invoke the study of the history of ideas:keyword search, text analysis to research Hua shan-shui hsii intensively, and found Tsung ping’s Hua shan-shui hsii’s philosophy behind the idea of the dual structure of "metaphysics(Xuanxue)" and "Buddhist" rather than qualitative since the1960s the Zhuangzi doctrine.
