What about the ancestor of painting?

Chinese painting is unique in the history of world art, and its origin can be traced back to primitive society. Traces of painting can be seen from various patterns and patterns on pottery in primitive society that have been unearthed, but these patterns and patterns are far from Chinese painting in the modern sense. So, when did Chinese painting originate? Who was the ancestor of Chinese painting? Various ancient books have different opinions on this. Among them, Huangdi's theory, Qin Shihuang's theory, Cang Xie's theory and Cang Xie's theory are common in ancient books and full of myth. It can be seen from the fact that these figures all lived in the era of the Yellow Emperor that China's paintings may have originated in the era of the Yellow Emperor. However, who is the ancestor of Chinese painting is still inconclusive.

The first theory is the ancestor of painting.

Legend has it that the first one was the sister of the ancient sage Xianshun. "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" says: "Shun's daughter has her name." She once "escaped the evil of elephants." It turned out that the first person who found out that the villain wanted to kill Shun immediately reported her two sisters-in-law and saved Shun's life. Bows are also called bows or drawing bows. She was called painting because she created painting. "Painting History Society" said: "Painters are also beautiful. Painting begins with painting, hence the saying: painting'. "Biography of Women" also praised her for her good painting. "Nature is in her heart and she has unique skills." Mr. Zheng Chang, an art historian, believes that what the Yellow Emperor and historical emperors painted only reflected the concept of the universe and people's living conditions at that time. "Their creative motivation is life rather than art ... so there are no people who specialize in painting. "Therefore, they are not the ancestors of China's paintings. Before the first time, although there were pictures, it was "naive line drawing", which was nothing more than the original painting with seemingly words but no words, and there was no artistry at all. Chinese painting can only become a whole at the beginning. Because in the era of Yu Shun, the first place of residence, all the cultural embryonic forms of China have been determined, and it is possible to create artistic paintings. Mr. Zheng Chang further pointed out that after surrendering himself, China's painting was out of the category of hieroglyphics, so he was the ancestor of China's painting. However, due to the age of the first painting, and the records of some ancient books are often myths and legends, it is impossible to verify. Therefore, the credibility of the theory of "the ancestor of painting" is still questionable.
