The art of Chinese painting is almost 6,000 years old. During the Neolithic Age (New Stone Age), numerous earthen pots were discovered. These pots had paintings of people, animals, tress, etc. Later on, the art of painting became more intricate and complex. In Southern China, pictures depicting sacrifices, rituals and daily life activates were commonly observed. During the same period, Northern China portrayed a different sense of atmosphere altogether. Here, wars, dancing and hunting were extensively depicted.

The Chinese are also credited for mastering the art of silk painting. During the Warring States Period in 476-221 BC, numerous silk painting arts were discovered in Central China from Mawangdui Tomb. People in the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD25) were credited for perfecting the art of silk painting.

Figure painting during the Tang Dynasty became very popular from 618 to 907 AD. This branch of painting is very important in the field of traditional Chinese painting even today.

Oil painting was very popular in the 18th century. These days, Chinese painting is a perfect combination of traditional Chinese designs with a dash of Western culture.
