Since oil painting was brought to China from occitental world , It has been kept colliding and merging with Chinese culture . With the development of various epochs , the prominent artists of those days made various efforts for nationalized oil painting . Through these efforts the artists expressed different merging points of Oriental and Occitental culture .Among many attempts in different ages , through different approches , appeared some attempts to introduece Chinese artistic skills , Chinese artistic features and Chinese cultural signals into occitental painting , namely , Chinanized oil painting , which created lots of exellent works . In the combination styles of these works , some are national folk paintings regarding occidental painting language as its core under disguise of oritentalizd theme ; some works attempt to absorb chinese painting's elements and apply expression of oriental painting language , but frankly belong to occitentalized realism . however,It is barely found in history that creating with western painting skills , expressing with oriental atistic language and to selecting oriental cultural spiritual theme , the artistic experience instills Chinese cultural spiritual contents into oil painting .It is very important that nationalization of oil painting is introduced into traditional culture . and the degree of merge between them is decided by artist's performance orentation of traditional cultural contents . through a long history , some experiences of nationalization of oil painting which had profound traditional accomplishments but did not benefit the merge of culture , or knew little about culture and grasp no essence of tradition , can't be defined as a true merge .For deep merge between oil painting and Chinese culture , it is demanded that the artistic phenomenon in merge between Chinese traditional culture and oil painting should be explored on the aspect of the merge between traditional cultural spiritual contents and oil painting . in addition , we should arrange spiritual desire beyond nature in traditional cultural contents , and analyze its influence on art and culture , thus , we can got a better insight into deep merge of culture in nationalizaion of oil painting .Chinese traditional art has a wide range of contents with rich artistic language,and the void and profound emotions of moutain-and-river painting embodys a spiritual seek beyond nature , which is different from occidental world . Its birth and mature shows a kind of Philosophy with Chinese characteristics .Spiritual seek beyond nature is a kind of desire for Taoism in Chinese traditonal culture and is the reflection of"Unity of Human and Nature", the taoist thought , by which"ethereality and clarity", the cultural trait in Chinese culture , came into being . and the cultural seek has a far-reaching influence on Chinese artistic forms , especially on something ethereal in Chinese landscape painting ."seek for ethereality"embodies the artists'desire for Taoism by art and desire for free mind in aesthetic art , a kind of profound and supernatural aesthetic experience , which refresh your soul and spirit .During the national devlopment of oil painting , the artists manage to seek a proper entry point between occitental and oriental cultures by oil painting , the unique medium .Some artists , desiring for inner-spirit , explored the merging point of oil painting and Chinese painting . To express spirital seek beyond nature by oil painting is futher development of Chinese culture in antother form .Duringcultural succession and development , inner spiritual succession and reflection is foundamental . only when we clarify the true trait of traditional culture in intrinsic gene and inject it into different artisyic forms , traditional culture could be succeeded aginest the collision of cultural exchange . in the meanwhile , cultural development is influenced and restricted by changes in state's economy and politics of different periods . that is , Different periods facing with different cultural enviroments , attituds to traditional culture will change accordingly . Although succession of traditonal culture is paid attention nowadays , historial reasons produces faults to succession , and traditional culture will confront the attack from tansition of post-culture following western culture .Facing with contemporary complex cultural environment , emerging and evolution between cultures , there existed different Contradictions in front of traditonal culture . with development of evolution and colliding between cultures , for traditional culture , to be or not to be ? thus , It is very hard to choose for contemporary artists who can think of their art without prejudice but can not separate from suceeding traditonal culture . It can not only refresh our spirits but also guide our cultural development . Nowadays , it is very crucial to know the meaning of existence of traditional culture for us .
