Appreciation¹ of Chinese Painting

中国画的鉴赏

The appreciation of the traditional Chinese painting is influenced by the traditional Chinese philosophy, which advocates observing the micro by way of the macro, and vice² versa, not to be limited by a definite space and time, and not laying emphasis on the light and shadow of or the changes in color, or the detail of the external feature. The painter's perspective is mobile and many sided, and is not limited by a definite standpoint. The painter's effort is directed to observing the implicit³ essence and spirit of the object rather than the exact external appearance, i. e.，omitting some detail but stressing the essence.

中国传统绘画的欣赏是被中国的传统哲学理念所影响，它主张从宏观观察微观的方式，反之亦然，而不是受限于一定的空间和时间，也不是将重点放在颜色光影的变化中，或外部特征的细节。画家的视角是移动和多方面的，而不是受限于一个确定的角度。画家们把注意力放在画里暗含的意义和精神上，而不是确切的外观。比如说，忽略了一些细节，但强调本质。
