Explain, Basis of Chinese Paintings
From the chapter Landscape of The Soul..........
Answers
Chinese paintings are based on the philosophy of Daoism. Dao means “path or way”- the way into the mystery of the universe. The Emperor may rule over territories, but the artist alone knows the way within. Life has no meaning unless we undertake the inner, spiritual journey. When Wu Daozi said, “let me show you the way”, he meant the way to the inner meaning of art or mystery of the universe. This is the spirit of Chinese paintings. They do not reproduce an actual view, but use a real landscape to say something more. A Chinese painter, therefore, wants the viewer to take plural view points to enter into his painting and travel in it. He wants our active participation, not only physical but also mental. His landscape is not a copy of a- real landscape; it is a representation of an inner reality, a spiritual and conceptual space.
