The manifestation of national characteristics in Chinese painting

Abstract

The core values of the Chinese nation are dominated by the life ideal of actively entering the WTO and striving for success. The so-called "reaching the goal and helping the world" is based on Confucius' Confucianism. This article sets forth some principles and norms regarding the value of a person in dealing with relationships among oneself, others, nation, country and nature, mainly including benevolence, righteousness, politeness, wisdom and faith. When analyzing Chinese painting, such national traits as warmth, kindness, courtesy, hard work, simplicity and complaisance were identified.
