传统中国绘画是一门独特的艺术

无论是风格还是技巧都与世界其他艺术门类迥然不同。传统的日

在纸上。画家用深、浅、浓、淡的 点和线构成一幅图画。在优秀画家的手里，毛笔和墨汁不

仅是绘画的工具，也是画家艺术 追求的象征。

Traditional Chinese paintings constitute a unique school of art, a school that, in style and techniques is widely

different from any other art school in the world. Traditional Japanese art may be the only exception, but it has to

be remembered that it has been heavily influenced by the Chinese culture. The Chinese do paintings with brushes,

dipping their brushes in ink or paint and then skillfully wielding them. Painters produce on the paper picture with

lines

and

dots

some

heavy,

and

some

light,

and

some

deep,

and

some

pale.

In

the

hands

of

a

good

painter,

brushes and ink are not only tools for drawing pictures, but also the symbol of his or her artistic pursuit.
