First, the changing stage of China's painting carrier In the early days of Chinese civilization, China's paintings were mainly flowers, birds, fish and insects carved on stones or utensils made of stones. At that time, painting was mainly to record something. Later, with the development of Shang Dynasty and Spring and Autumn Period, some pictures of characters began to appear. In today's Dunhuang area, murals have been produced before, and their main function is to fly in the sky, which means to live forever. The paintings painted on paper mainly appeared after the invention of paper, that is, from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty. Therefore, the change of painting carrier has also influenced the fine arts in China and brought about changes.
Second, the stage of improving production technology. In the history of our country, there were two peaks of improving production technology. One is the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the other is the Tang and Song Dynasties. Bronze culture appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which is a sign that China fine arts moved from floating to stability. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, multiculturalism appeared, and China fine arts changed from a single cultural style to a changeable and gorgeous cultural style. So there were many realistic styles in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Third, the ideological trend changed from the images of feudal period to the spread of modern capitalism and communism, and China fine arts moved from the palace to the folk. So since the end of Qing Dynasty, there have been many folk artists, such as clay figurines and iron painters. This adds a touch of vulgar beauty to China art in the elegant hall. Therefore, art comes from life, which is higher than life. The development of fine arts in China is deeply rooted in the changes of people's lives in China.
