工笔画
工笔画, or "Gongbi painting," is a traditional Chinese art form known for its meticulous detail and precision. This style emphasizes fine brushwork and vibrant colors, often depicting subjects such as flowers, birds, and landscapes. The technique requires a high level of skill and patience, making it distinct from other painting styles.
Originating during the Han Dynasty, Gongbi painting has evolved over centuries, becoming popular in various dynasties, including the Tang and Song. Artists often use rice paper or silk as their canvas, and the paintings are characterized by their lifelike representation and intricate patterns, showcasing the beauty of nature and cultural themes.
