Chinese painting is divided into three subjects. Figures, flowers and birds, landscapes, on the surface, are classified according to subject matter, but in fact, they express an idea and thought with art. The so-called "painting is divided into three subjects", which summarizes three aspects of cosmic life: figure painting shows the relationship between human society and people; Landscape painting shows the relationship between man and nature, and integrates man and nature; Flower-and-bird painting is to show all kinds of life in nature and live in harmony with people. The combination of the three constitutes the whole universe and complements each other. This is a philosophical thinking from the sublimation of art, and it is the true meaning of art.
