| Genre Painting is based on social customs as the theme,expressing the customs and human feelings of common people.Following the development of genre painting,from the Chinese Portrait Brick of the Han Dynasty to the real prosperity and maturity of the Genre Paintings in the Song Dynasty,and then to the low tide of Genre Painting in the Yuan,Ming and Qing Dynasties,the developing process of Genre Painting was clearly and vividly described.The "Travelling Salesman Map" as a Genre Painting with the artistic and historical value of the typical art works has been of great significance in research.During the Song Dynasty,the commodity economy was extremely flourishing,and people began to pursue spiritual enjoyment while enjoying the material satisfaction.Calligraphy and painting were no longer the luxury of court aristocrats,but they began to be loved by all walks of life.In the meantime,the Custom Painting whose new force suddenly rose became the inevitable product of the development of commodity economy.The peddlers carrying and selling goods in the high streets and back lanes became the theme that the painters not only in the Song Dynasty,but also till Yuan,Ming and Qing Dynasty all actively created.Moreover,every artist show and paint in different contexts,with different methods and techniques,leaving a lot of fine works for later generations.I have a clearer knowledge and further understanding of the developing process of the Genre Painting and the Travelling Salesman Map in different times by going through a collection of books and referring to relevant materials.Any traditional art work has its own artistic and historical value.I benefit so much from the study and research that I will keep studying and researching on the Travelling Salesman Map in different times,analyzing the Travelling Salesman Map art works in different times and further study the politics,economics,history and the art language and painting skills reflected by them. |
