China's landscape painting has a long history. Mainly based on some natural landscapes such as mountains and rivers. On the surface, it is just a landscape painting, which actually contains the author's inner feelings and is the expression of the author's feelings at that time. As early as the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were already landscape paintings. In fact, the earliest landscape paintings mainly appeared in the form of maps. Later it gradually evolved into a landscape painting with aesthetic value. Its development went through Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, Five Dynasties, Song Dynasty, and finally to Qing Dynasty. ?

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the society was unstable and the political situation was turbulent. At that time, people lived in dire straits. Some literati expressed their inner disappointment with the society at that time and their expectation for a better life through some paintings. The most famous representative is Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Later, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the whole country was unified. People's lives have also become better. At this time, the theme of landscape painting has changed a lot. Zhan Ziqian, a famous painter in Sui Dynasty, and Li Sixun, a famous painter in Tang Dynasty, both created many landscape paintings with profound attainments. And Wu Daozi in the prosperous Tang Dynasty was called by later generations? Painting saint? . In the late Tang Dynasty, a new technique appeared in the creation of landscape painting, which made the development of landscape painting more mature.

Later, in the Five Dynasties, wars began to break out and social unrest began. In order to express their dissatisfaction with the society at that time, many literati began to express their feelings in the mountains and rivers. So landscape painting has been further developed. At that time, painters were divided into two factions, North and South, each with its own style. The two sides formed a contrast in their creative styles and promoted the development of landscape culture. The two factions put forward many landscape painting techniques and some painting theories. Later, in the Song Dynasty, the social status of literati gradually improved, and the Song Dynasty also attached great importance to the development of painting academies. At the same time, a discipline-painting appeared. This has played a very important role in the development of landscape painting. This period also formed many creative characteristics of landscape painting.

After that, landscape painting experienced the development of Yuan, Ming and Qing. In the whole development process, many creative techniques have been formed, and each dynasty has some new themes and characteristics, which makes the creation of landscape painting more and more abundant. Nowadays, landscape painting has become a cultural treasure of our country.
