Abstract

This article, by comparing the symbolic characteristics of Chinese and western painting, emphasizes that the symbolism of Chinese painting is not only different from the western art, but more importantly, the unique aesthetic image pursuit of Chinese painting and the cultural tradition of "moral comparison" and "truth conveying" pull a larger distance between Chinese painting and Western art, and created its unique style.
