The artistic conception in ink painting is a topic worth paying attention to

The artistic conception in ink painting is a topic worth paying attention to. The "artistic conception" originated from the "Xing" in the Chinese poetry collection "The Book of Songs". It was originally a rhetorical device in poetry, meaning that poets express their inner emotions by depicting objective images, leaving a lasting impression on people. In the Tang Dynasty, Wang Changling proposed in his "Poetry Style" that poetry has three states: material state, situation, and artistic state, and for the first time proposed the concept of "artistic state". Later, Sikong Tu proposed the concept of "harmony between thought and environment", which introduced "artistic conception" into the aesthetic category. Wang Guowei's "realm theory" established the important position of artistic conception in aesthetics.
