The Evolution of the Chinese Brush Painting
China has been one of the leading countries in artistic painting which has been attributed by a number of factors. The traditional activities in the country have been one of the main factors that have contributed to the development of brush painting in china. More importantly, the art of painting in China has been developing sequentially over the last 600 years ago. Traditional factors like craftsmanship like pottery among others have been one of the main factors resulting into the eminent increment in the brush painting in China. In addition, the introduction of Buddhism in China in the 16th Century in china has greatly influenced the development of brush painting in China (Yang 108-134).
Basically, various artistic characters and skills in China springing from traditional practices in the country have greatly influenced the development of Chinese brush painting. As a result of the activities practiced in the country, various types of brushes were developed for special purposes and occasions. It should be noted that, each brush developed were specially used for particular artistic works but not on others. More specifically, the various brushes developed were used for special purposes like for painting temples, decorating pottery work and furniture work among others (Zhen 32-46).
Chinese Brush Development during Tao Era
This is a period which was marked with tremendous increase in artistic use of brush and paint in China. Basically, Tao was a period during the time of Confucianism which was translated as the ‘way forward’. More importantly, Tao was in most cases associated with yin and yang which meant to accept or to conform. In this regard, during this time individuals were engaging into artistic production of various commodities; both religious and non-religious. In the year 500 BC, a symbol which represented the followers of ‘Tao’ was developed. It was painted black and white indicating its simplicity and eternity (Yang 108-134).
During the time of introduction Buddhism in China in the year 1 AD, Taoism had spread in almost all corners of the country. As a result, the religious structures used in Buddhism were develop and decorated by the followers of Taoism; whose influence on the entire country quite remarkable. In this case, the Buddha nature was aligned with ‘Taoism’ since most of the Taos became followers of Buddhism. In this case, most Taos started advocating for ‘giving way to Buddha’. As it has been revealed, up to the year 400 AD, very many Buddhism architectures had been developed as a result of the ‘Taoism’ motto (Lewing 56-62).
More so, after Buddhism was introduced in China from India, the construction of various religious architectures like Temples among others required various decorations. As many religious architectures continued to be developed, many individuals gained experienced and exposure in various paintings resulting into competence in brush painting among the Chinese. Basically, the art of brush painting among the Chinese has been greatly influenced by the traditional artistic practices and the eminent development of Buddhism, which required the construction of more architectural structures (Dwight 66-69).
