Chinese flower-and-bird painting art had gained an unprecedented development during the Song Dynasty.It was such an enormous development that made it more flourishing than the previous dynasty-Tang Dynasty.After stepping into its heyday especially,various schools of flowers and birds painting begun to use the ways of implication and freehand to communicate with viewers in their paintings.Unlike the schools before,they no longer re-demonstrated the natural beauty of flowers and birds directly while they were painting.Such ideological changes were inevitably be reflected in the paintings,which would ultimately relate to the problems of the painting language and techniques.Through the research and study on the technical development,classification,technique and influence of the flower-and-bird painting in the Song Dynasty,the present study aims to provide a closer insight into the unique charm of flower-and-bird painting in the Song Dynasty.More importantly,it will help researchers obtain a systematic understanding of the painting techniques,which not only would provide a richer reference for the creation of flowers and birds painting,but offer some help for the majority of hobbyists of birds and flowers painting. |
