Cranes Sing At Marshland

The relationship between Confucian and the Painting-function theory of .Ancient China has been paid attention by academic circles in China and abroad for more than twenty years, but compared with the questions studying the relationship between Taoism. Zen School and Chinese Painting Theory, the research for this task looks insufficient. The special, serial, profound works has been seldom seen in our study fields. In my thesis, I effort to find out Confucian ethics elements in Chinese painting's history- as a perspective for researching the subject, inspecting and studying the ancient Chinese painters how to carry out Confucian thoughts into his art creation. It is brought up in the thesis that : the painting-function theory' is a key question which relates to the existence and value of a painting in ancient society. The function theory with ethics instruction raises a series of requirements such as painting theme, drawing intention, the standard of art creation and art critic, as well as the special forms of art works. These are regarded as the main reflection of the Confucian literature and art views in the painting field. The ancient painting theorist also discussed the inherent over-profit value or over-experience value of painting in which it took advantage of the Confucian materials when they demonstrated the painting function with ethics instruction. In addition, although the literate painters departed from the traditional ideas of Confucian ethics education at last, their viewpoints originally came from Confucian ideas, for example, that literature and art could enjoy your spirits and improve your cultivation. In the end. the writer looks into the expressive forms of Confucian Ethics in the Story Paintings or Portrait Paintings with texts, the Chinese Landscapes, and the Flower-bird Paintings.
