Chinese ink art has undergone thousands of years of cultural accumulation and boasts a brilliant historical legacy. It is neither appropriate nor feasible to simply integrate it into contemporary Western culture. Traditional landscape painting primarily relies on the techniques of contouring and texture, where contouring depicts outlines and texture expresses volume. As times have changed, established painting techniques have gradually evolved. The emergence of the Mi family’s landscape painting in the Song Dynasty marked the end of the dominance of contouring and texture, while splashed ink gradually became an important method in Chinese painting. In modern times, various unprecedented mechanical, physical, chemical, and digital technological methods have entered the realm of artistic creation.
