The traditional Chinese painting is (fundamental) an abstract art form. Objects in Chinese paintings are a less direct copy of the natural world, comparison to Western paintings. Actually, the Chinese painting aims to demonstrate a (harmony) relation between the natural world and human emotion.
What Chinese painters would like to produce in their paintings is not a visual effect of colors and patterns that Western painters tend (achieve). The description of objects in Chinese paintings is by no means accurate because few painters (concern) about their exact size or shape. What they want to seek is a spiritual world in their mind nature provides exactly basic elements. This is how Chinese painters view nature. Remote mountains and running streams (be) the primary materials of their thinking and creating since ancient times. Chinese artists often say that the artists first need to have a thorough and deep understanding of the natural (exist) before drawing.
With a long history of China, generations of Chinese painters express thoughts on the material world through this unique art form and leave a valuable treasure to the Chinese. Nowadays, the Chinese painting, as important part of global culture, has become increasingly attractive across the world, (enjoy) great popularity at home and abroad.
