On The Historical Evolution And Thinning Of The Drawing Origin

It is a unique phenomenon of China's ancient drawings that it had two kinds of styles whichcan be roughly called the sparse style and the dense style. Tracing back the development ofChina's drawing history, we can clearly see the two roads that these two styles had runthrough.During the Wei Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty and the North and South separation period ofancient China, the drawing art began to shake off the trammels of politics and pragmatism,which enabled aesthetics to be its main aim. Due to the specific history background and theinfluence of Taoism and Buddhism, people's inspection to life and the meaning of life hadmade Hsuan Hsueh(Neo-Taoism, metaphysics) very popular and this began to influencealmost every aspect of literature and arts. It is at this time that the drawing art began todevelop two different directions and a new drawing style came into being, which now wecall the Sparse style drawing.During the Tang dynasty, the sparse and the dense style drawing continued developing andWu Daozi, a famous painter at that time became the representative of the sparse drawingStyle. Also, the drawing theory had highly developed during the Tang dynasty, whose pursuitof Nature and instinct understanding had helped the freehand drawing begin to appear.From the beginning of the Six Dynasty period, the sparse style of drawing art began to be thebest expression of people's pursuit of the Yi spirit.And later, thanks to the participation of literal artist, freehand drawing of mountains andwaters had become the mainstream of the drawing art, it is until this period that the sparsedrawing style had come to an end and be replaced by this new drawing style.
