Abstract

Ink art holds a distinctive position within the realm of artistic expression in China. Throughout the course of Chinese history, ink painting has served as the favored medium for literati to convey their deepest emotions. Unlike the blue-green ShanShui style, ink painting offers a material that is both of superior quality and cost-effective. It encompasses techniques such as ink color changes, rubbing, and dyeing, allowing artists to directly reflect their pursuit of poetic expression. Bada Shanren, also known as Zhu Da, emerges as a preeminent master of ink painting during the early Qing Dynasty, whose artistic legacy continues to evoke profound thoughts and emotions even in contemporary times. By delving into the historical context and techniques employed in ink painting, this article explores the profound emotional expressions prevalent in literati ink art, using Bada Shanren as a compelling case study.
