Chinese painting

Chang Dai-chien
Description:
In the old times, there is no "peony" this kind of name, and people called it "Chinese herbaceous peony." After Tang Dynasty, the name "Peony" is then called. Peony represents wealth and splendid; therefore, it is the king of flowers and image of national beauty. Chang Dai-chien regards peony as the delegate of "fine-line painting of flower," which needs to draw in details. The way he drew peony is very gaudiness. However, this painting is using ink to draw peony. The center of flower is painting with thick ink and the petal is in light ink. With the contrasting way of painting, it can bring out the gesture of peony.
