Silk painting refers to Chinese painting that the Chinese nation began to paint on silk, spun yarn, crepe, damask and other flat fabrics more than 3,000 years ago. It is an independent painting genre created by ancient Chinese people and the origin of traditional Chinese painting. It is the oldest art form in Chinese traditional art. The silk paintings of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Warring States Period unearthed in Changsha and the Mawangdui silk paintings of the Western Han Dynasty have long been world-renowned as treasures of Chinese civilization. Since the Western Jin Dynasty, the painting techniques of heavy-color silk paintings have been passed down through silk paintings, and people call it "Danqing". After the Yuan Dynasty, paper-based ink and wash literati paintings gradually became mainstream, and many painters abandoned silk and followed paper, and silk paintings gradually declined. In modern times when rice paper ink and wash paintings are the only one, Danqing silk paintings are gradually declining. Even if someone occasionally does it, they mostly follow the paper-based ink and wash language system, and silk paintings are far away from people's consciousness. Over the past century, after the persistent practice and inheritance of heavy-color silk painting by Shanghai senior painter Feng Chaoran and his disciple Zheng Mukang, silk painting inheritor Mu Yilin inherited the teachings of teacher Zheng Mukang and devoted himself to the excavation and research of ancient silk painting for 32 years. He inherited the ancient style, expanded the techniques, and strictly followed the rules and standards of silk painting to create new silk paintings with strong color change effects, so that the ancient national treasure of Chinese silk painting has been protected and began to restore its youth and glory. The silk fabric used in silk painting is the protein fiber of animal silkworms. After being dyed with the technique of silk painting, the silk will show crystal clear bright color and refraction and reflection effect, which is unmatched by other painting materials. Its high color saturation is better than paper and cloth. Silk painting without glue and alum treatment can last for thousands of years like other silk fabrics. Silk painting has been found in the archaeological excavation of Shang Dynasty tombs more than 3,000 years ago, and the silk painting of Chu and Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago is now well preserved in museums and is world-renowned. Silk painting is a unique and precious painting genre in our cultural and artistic treasure house, with a high level of traditional art and rich Chinese cultural connotations. The rules and standards of silk painting have led to the invention and application of unique sketching and coloring techniques. In addition to inheriting the sketching, flat painting, smudge, accumulation, shading, broken dyeing, and contrasting methods of ancient silk painting, the sketching and coloring techniques of contemporary silk painting have also created and applied water splashing, pointillism, dry color water mark, flow rubbing, positive and negative shaped overlapping, and pigment dye mixing methods. In a picture with a unified tone, under different color temperatures or different angles of light and at different viewing angles, the visual image will appear or disappear, or separate or combine, and the color will be cold or hot, or bright or light, and the surface texture and warp and weft patterns of different silk materials will still be revealed. Silk painting, which has a history of more than 3,000 years, is the origin of Chinese painting. The history of Chinese painting is mainly written by silk painting. Silk painting is a treasure of the Chinese nation. It is a unique type of painting, not just a few artifacts from a certain era displayed in a museum. Today, this 3,000-year-old tree is blooming new flowers.
