ii. background
the subjects of traditional chinese paintings
the most popular subjects of traditional chinese paintings have been landscapes, human figures, animals, fishes, birds and flowers-the last two being frequently combined as “flower and bird painting”. figure painting, which reached maturity during the warring states period, flourished against a confucian background, illustrating moralistic themes. from the han dynasty to the end of the tang dynasty, the human figure occupied the dominant position in chinese painting, as it did in pre-modern european art.
landscape painting is called shanshui hua in chinese. shanshui means mountains and rivers, which stand for nature. landscape painting is thus called because mountain and water occupy the most important place in a piece of landscape painting, while non-essential elements of landscape and people are either omitted or painted as embellishment. nature is predominant, and human beings are only part of it. this concept of man’s relationship with nature was especially executed in the paintings of the song dynasty, which greatly influenced later landscape painters up to the present.
