体裁 说明文 题材 文学艺术 词数 348 难度 ★★★ 建议用时 6.5分钟 Chinese traditional painting dates back to the late Stone Age about 6,000 years ago.The unearthed colored pottery(彩陶)with painted human faces,fish,deer and frogs indicates that the Chinese began painting as far back as the late Stone Age.Over the centuries,the growth of Chinese painting reflected the change of time and social conditions.

In its earliest stage,Chinese prehistoric paintings were closely related to other early skills,such as pottery,bronze ware and so on.The line styles on unearthed pottery and bronze ware resemble waves,fishing nets,teeth or frogs.The animal and human figures are proofs of the sensitivity of the ancient artists and nature. Paintings found on steep cliffs(悬崖)in Sichuan,Yunnan and Guizhou in Southwest China,Fujian in East China and Mount Yinshan in Inner Mongolia,Altai in China's extreme west and Heihe in the far north,are even more ancient.Strong visual effects

characterize the bright red cliff paintings in southern China that show scenes of production activities and daily life.In comparison,hunting,animal grazing(放牧),wars and dancing are the main themes of cliff paintings in northern China. Before paper was invented,the art of silk painting had been developing.The earliest silk painting was dug from the Mawangdui Tomb in central China of the Warring States Period(476~221 BC).Silk painting reached its artistic peak in the Western Han Dynasty(206 BC~AD 25).Following the introduction of Buddhism to China during the first century from India,and then the carvings on caves and temple building,the art of painting religious murals(壁画)gradually became popular.

China entered a situation of divided states from the third to the sixth century,where continuous wars sharpened the thinking of Chinese artists which,in turn,promoted the development of art.Cave murals,wall murals in tombs,stone carvings and brick carvings reached a period which was very important to the development of traditional Chinese painting.
