Wu Daozi is one of the most famous painters in the history of our country. Interestingly, he painted because his calligraphy is not good. Thus, although calligraphy and painting are of the same origin, the truth is the same, but because of different techniques, the effects displayed are different. So before the Yuan Dynasty, calligraphy was calligraphy and painting was painting.
In the Yuan Dynasty, the technique of calligraphy was only used in painting, but it was limited to simple subjects such as bamboo, dead wood and stones. People and flowers and birds still used painting methods. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, calligraphy techniques were not only applied to simple subjects such as bamboo and dead wood, but also gradually extended to people's landscapes, and calligraphy methods were applied to painting. At this time, it can be said that painting and calligraphy are of the same origin.
In the 2th century, pictorial calligraphy gradually evolved, and painting techniques were applied to calligraphy to make it look more ornamental. The boundary between calligraphy and painting is becoming more and more blurred. As for whether calligraphy and painting are homologous or not, there is no accurate conclusion so far. Different people have different opinions, but I believe that culture has been developing constantly. Calligraphy and painting are both manifestations of culture, and only when they complement each other can they constitute the splendid civilization of our country for thousands of years.
