1. In ancient times, poetry and painting were of the same origin. 1. Ancient pursuit of artistic conception creation.
China's ancient art, whether poetry, calligraphy, painting or music, has a pursuit of artistic conception. For example, the poem Silent Night by Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, depicts a lonely homesickness, and the majestic artistic conception of Fan Kuan The Journey to the West, a famous painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, impacts the hearts of every viewer. Those who are successful in poetry and painting contain artistic conception in their works. It can be said that the artistic conception of China's classical art exists like a soul, and a work without artistic conception is like a work without a soul and becomes incomplete.
The artistic conception of an excellent poem is embodied in every word, sentence and connotation of the poem, which makes every reader feel brought to the scene described in the poem after reading it. The same is true of good paintings. Whether realistic or freehand, there is artistic conception in it, so that every viewer can see that after painting, in addition to the enjoyment of beauty, there is also an immersive feeling. The artistic conception of China's ancient poems and paintings comes down in one continuous line, all of which originated from the creator's pursuit of artistic perfection. It is precisely because of this that the imagination of painters painting poems and poets writing poems appeared in ancient times.

2. Artistic creation comes from life.
Since ancient times, art has paid more attention to life than life. Poetry and painting also belong to two categories of art, and naturally there is no escape from this law. If artistic conception is the soul of poetry and painting, then life is the foundation of poetry and painting. The Buddha statues created by Saint Wu Daozi, even if painted, are the products of artistic processing based on ordinary people. Whether God is an artificial god or God creates man has been debated since ancient times, but none of us have ever seen a real god, and it is even more impossible for artists to create art directly based on God.
The creation of ancient poems and paintings can be divided into landscapes, flowers and birds, figures and so on. No matter what kind of theme, you need to put yourself in the shoes to create works handed down from generation to generation. The Tang Dynasty is the peak of poetry, and it can be described as a generation of famous poets. Their peerless poems are all from other people's perspectives, and there are few works that are alarmist or praise virtue. For example, Li Bai's peerless masterpiece "Looking at Lushan Waterfall" is the poet Li Bai's deep affection for Lushan Mountain.
The same is true of paintings of the same period. For example, Han Gan, a famous pommel horse painter in Tang Dynasty, went deep into the stables to observe and became unique. It can be seen that poetry and painting need to tell the truth and go deep into life in order to create peerless masterpieces. At this point, poetry and painting are also interlinked.

Second, the boundary between poetry and painting 1, ancient language art and time factors
The creators of ancient poetry are people who give full play to the art of language. As far away as the Book of Songs, as near as the poems of the Tang and Song Dynasties, every artist has summed up the great compression to the extreme, that is, without losing the complete meaning and artistic conception. These works can be passed down to this day, which reflects the superb language talent and accurate grasp of time of these artists.
"Frosty night, Jiang Feng fishing sorrow sleep. Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, passenger ships are ringing at midnight. " A night-mooring near maple bridge is a famous poem by Zhang Ji, which contains time factors. Other famous poems also contain the time factor to some extent. Language is an abstract art, and readers can build their own pictures in their minds by reading.
With the time factor, the constructed picture is more vivid. This is very different from painting. Time is not the main factor of painting, only a few landscape paintings will reflect time. Time is an indispensable factor for poetry. Even Cao Zhi's Seven-step Poem implies the time factor. Boiling beans itself represents a time process and is continuous. Even if the painting has a time factor, it only captures a moment, not a continuous one.
2. The image of painting and space art..
A master painter is an artist who brings space art and image art into full play. For example, The Journey to the West's "Portrait of Vimalakīrti" and other famous works combine space art and video art perfectly. Without the important factor of space, no matter how good a painting is, it will never become a boutique.
A painting handed down from ancient times can contain no time and no color matching, but the rationality of spatial layout is indispensable. Without the element of space, the artistic conception and connotation of painting can't be reflected. At best, it's just a better children's work. Whether it is meticulous painting, ink painting, freehand brushwork and figure painting, there is no shortage of space factors. Only with the space factor can painting be three-dimensional and complete, and can it give people a beautiful experience. Just as a painting has no time, so does a poem. For example, Du Fu's famous poem "Spring Hope" does not contain spatial factors, but it does not affect the artistic conception and aesthetic feeling of the poem at all. Another example is the famous Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, which has a perfect control of space.
3. The boundary between poetry and painting
Artistic conception and life are the places where poetry and painting coexist, so time and space are the watershed of poetry and painting. They each stood on their own side, facing each other across the river bank. Although they communicate with each other and learn from each other, the boundaries are clear. Poetry is inseparable from time, and painting is inseparable from space. If poetry abandons time and merges into space, or painting abandons space and merges into time, they will lose their original appearance. Poetry will become a description of the environment in the novel, and painting will become a serial symbol of the plane. Fish can't live without water, mammals can't live without air, poetry can't live without time and painting can't live without space.
Third, there are paintings in poems, poems in paintings are 1, and poems have intangible paintings.
Poetry and painting are like two fish, Yin and Yang, on Tai Chi pictures. Although there is an obvious dividing line, there is still me in you and you in me. Although poetry is the art of time, it also contains intangible painting. For example, when people see the poem "Sleeping by the Maple Bridge" mentioned above, they will involuntarily form a picture in their minds, which is the result of the influence of the painting environment on readers. Another example is the artistic conception presented in Wang Shizhen's poem "Zhou Zhen quatrains", which is a wonderful landscape painting.
