But China's portrait crest time is in Tang Dynasty.Tang Dynasty culture is broad and profound, leaves people too many imagination space, also takes us too many inspirations. So many scholars, who study this section of academic time, also proposed many viewpoints are worth us profiting and thinking. But now I study the artistic charm and the historical value of Tang Dynasty portrait, the goal is attempt from a brand-new angle to unscramble the Tang Dynasty portrait. The research process is laborious and joyful, and in the research process, I have obtained many creative recent discoveries.The most important reason of the unique charm of Tang Dynasty's portrait is that, in portrait of Tang Dynasty all intense reflection to human itself attention, but this strong humanity breathes in the picture founds the Chinese portrait beginning of a matter. Tang Dynasty's portrait just like West's Renaissance movement the significance which performs human's America and human's strength to eulogize vigorously is extremely similar. This then is the core research direction of this article. All painting analysis connoisseurship is all center on this argument to launch proves. Painter at that time except could face the reality, not only they did painting the theme to touch the significant political incident at that time, moreover noted each kind of activity in the people daily life. The Tang Dynasty drawing development, with simultaneously the generation of literary arts, including the poetry, music, the calligraphy, the dance and so on, all have had the close influence relations. This kind of influence also has created the enhancement important reason of Tang Dynasty portrait. Carries on regarding Tang Dynasty portrait in humanism compiles and refines, regarding today advocated gradually revives the Chinese culture, awakens the national consciousness, construction harmonious society's today, has extremely inspiration significance.The prove structure of this article will introduce subject from Tang Dynasty's historical perspective, including time, economy, society, politics, and cultural context aspects and so on to understand this historical period thoroughly. The portrait of Tang Dynasty has obtained the huge development on the traditional foundation and has emerged massive works and renowned painters. If purely displays and analysis the painters one by one is rather numerous and disorderly. Therefore simplifies gives an example of various times to have representative character like Yan Liben, Wu Daozi, Zhang Xuan, Zhou Fang and so on; they have made the tremendous contribution respectively at the beginning of Tang, in the glorious age of Tang poetry, middle and late Tang time. This article locates the historical period through these painters and the drawing achievement from these Tang Dynasty various times most outstanding character painter and work obtaining, puts on an invisible time master line, has orderly primary and secondary with painter's artistic thought and the work reflection reality and the performance character destiny, emotion obtaining, to proof center argument, that is manifesting humanities breath in Tang Dynasty portrait.The most important reason that Tang Dynasty drawing is magnificent in history is that lay in painter then to be able to face the reality, they not only selected material touch the significant political incident then, but also noted each kind of activity in people daily life. The technique of character display is more vivid, so appears the later generation to prostrate the model for painting drawing forms of Wu Jiayang and so on. These were also similarly in order to reflect the human nature breath service of that time. Tang Dynasty's representative fine arts, mainly are the glorious age of Tang poetry arts, the image plentiful and also are elegant, the structure is luxurious and also is compact, the color is gorgeous and also compromises, just like in brief the glorious age of Tang poetry represents Tang Dynasty's economical strength, political power, people's creation strength is abundant rich, the style is vigorous and also is exquisite, is one of China and world most outstanding classical artistic.Tang Dynasty is the development prosperous time of the religious drawing and the mural, we saw in these works that each religious scene and the India scene similarly are also filling and the same world life breath. Tang Dynasty's Buddhism mural appears obviously to the secularization development tendency. The cheerful bright atmosphere in which has replaced the gloomy pitiful affective tone. Manifests the rich ability and wisdom of the picture labor fully, ingenious unifies the imagination and the reality, demonstrates the astonishing artistic creativity. Other pictures of history story and description social life work is also emerge one after another incessantly. Generally speaking the Tang Dynasty portrait has the bright style characteristic, has the epoch-making function in the drawing history. As well as to the posterity drawing function and the influence is unprecedented, also is unable to surmount.China is a great nation with glorious history, rich outstanding cultural heritage cultural. In the East and even the world, the Chinese drawing all has the unique national style; the traditional Chinese painting study has its own complete system. The Chinese portrait took complete cultural system; its development has experienced one long and the radiant process. Tang Dynasty portrait is very brilliance and bright, is famous in China and foreign. This obviously concerns highly with the feudal society developed of that time.Beside along with the feudal economy developed and the social upper formation ruling class's hobby and the demand, the portrait, the traditional Chinese painting of beautiful women were fashionable for a time. Tang Dynasty appeared best time of the traditional Chinese painting of beautiful women. The traditional Chinese painting of beautiful women displays the upper classes of society women's life purely, has not been fettered the warning example virtuous simpleminded goal; Tang Dynasty's traditional Chinese painting of beautiful women finally liberates from these rows female drawings. The performance theme also does not rigidly adhere to the chaste wife woman of integrity, virtuous imperial concubine, but expands to each aspect of women's life. As soon as its unique modeling also changes the example picture tradition, but take abundant at the beautiful appearance. In my opinion this kind of describing aristocrat's drawing in China, is far talented elegant than Westerner's oil painting. Western similar theme oil painting then is one kind of another charm. But words and expressions are not enough to use. Talented elegant and charm are only two words. You must stand in front of the picture, even not need me to tell you, you also can see by yourself, also meets the palpitation.Tang Dynasty's arts, on the fine tradition foundation of Six Dynasties fine arts, pass through the multitudinous painter's joint effort to become the enormous development, has gradually formed the tidal current which two advance in unison.First is union the religious fine arts and the close real life, the outstanding fine arts work has reflected Tang Dynasty's real life specifically. For example the Bodhisattva looks like the human body plentiful health, but the expression tranquil is even faint. Description aristocrat, especially aristocrat woman's drawing emphatically its lonely bored deficient void life. Certain character image rich tendentious have excavated some character's disgusting social essence. These are all the Tang Dynasty fine arts realism important achievements.And second, the Tang Dynasty society various aspects vigorous development and the intense change, need possibly to develop people more abilities and the strength. The outstanding artist has the high creativity, intense creation warm and rich artistic imagination. For example they have created the extreme lively happy pure land and the extreme pitiful terror hell; Created the scene which Uygur anxious argued with Manjusri, also has created the life and death picture which the working difference and Buddhist relics Buddha sparred intensely; Also has created in the botanical garden person of high skill leisurely gentleman's comfortable, in the deep palace aristocrat female court attendant's loneliness, has created the innumerable life image and dignified and the exquisite model. These ideal conditions and the image are the important achievement in the history of art. The drawings later after Tang Dynasty is good at choosing in the life part of rich poetic sentiments and the theatrical scene, is not description the dull life, in the composition, far and near the perspective and the proportion size tends to correctly, is also more powerful in performance certain content and the thought aspect, the character relates no longer is the same or the close same form, also no longer is distinguishes primary and secondary by the size, but is processes the nature really moreover to be rich in the artistic effect. Stage prop and environment have also gradually played the major role in expression theme content. The artistic skill completely has been separated from the weak condition in the glorious age of Tang poetry.The Tang Dynasty portrait is born in the most magnificent time of Chinese feudal society's ancient, said in the drawing development, although still had its inevitable limitation, but looked from the Chinese portrait development angle, has indeed stepped onto a brand-new path from this, and started to move towards maturely tends to a bigger progress. The Tang Dynasty portrait held the especially important status and the historical value in the drawing history of ancient times, was glowing unique and eye-catching artistic charm and brilliance.
