The appreciation of the traditional Chinese painting is influenced by the traditional Chinese philosophy，which advocates observing the micro by way of the macro，and vice versa，not to be limited by a definite space and time，and not laying emphasis on the light and shadow of or the changes in color，or the detail of the external feature.
The painter’s perspective is mobile and many sided，and is not limited by a definite standpoint.The painter’s effort is directed to observing the implicit essence and spirit of the object rather than the exact external appearance，i.e.，omitting some de.tail but stressing the essence.
The Art of Chinese Painting
Chinese painting is a pure art.It is lyrical enough to stand on an equal footing with poetry and contemplative thought.It has incomparable refinements of design and reveals subtle insights into nature and human beings.Painting in the traditional style involves essentially the same techniques as calligraphy.
It is done with a brush dipped in black or colored ink；oils are not used.The line drawn by a brush has remained the core medium of Chinese painting throughout its history.Painters give ever-greater emphasis to the brush-line itself，taking it as their primary descriplive and expressive means.
