"write" The Tradition Of Painting

Derrida, as a member of France post-structuralism and deconstructualism, presents that 'logocentrism' exists in the long history of western culture. This tradition give priority to oral expression rather than writing, for the former one could be considered as one's presentation. Compared to his theory, we could discover some traits of our culture and eastern culture. We hold a trend of 'writing-centrism' in our culture, which means we always pay more attention to the text written with Chinese characters, and the activities related to writing become saintly and serious. The conscience of writing has a big influence on Chinese painting. For example, the using of bush is quite similar in painting and writing., and we also use the term 'write' to describe the behavior of painting, and the changing of the color system while we form a special style including the poetry, the handwriting, the picture and the seal. All of these elements make the Chinese painting showing an unique aesthetic taste.
