It eliminates the distance between people's perception and symbols, and makes it have an unprecedented wide range of acceptance.

There are norms in content, image, composition and color, which become the same scale of aesthetics. It is the embodiment of the aesthetic standard of folk artists summing up practical experience. About modeling: a beauty should be slender, a scholar should have a nail, and a warrior should have a bow. In terms of line performance: the flowing water pleats should be looped, and the money line pleats should be straight. Color matching: if you want to be pretty, take a little filial piety. Black with purple, smelly shit. Red is yellow and bright.
