Research on Chinese Painting under the thought of the unity of nature and man

Abstract

Chinese landscape painting is one of the classics of Chinese traditional culture, its ideological basis is the Taoist philosophy of Laozhuang. Taoist thought had a profound influence on the creation and theory of Chinese landscape painting.  Confucius' ritual optimism has become the core of Confucian criticism. Confucianism has played a normative role in the moral value and ideological content of Chinese figure painting and promoted figure painting to play a positive political and ethical function in society. And Lao Zhuang's Taoist theory became the spiritual source of creation and criticism of landscape painting. It is Lao Zhuang's Taoist theory that contributed to the wild and unprincipled Chinese landscape painting, and also contributed to the colorful theory and criticism of landscape painting.
