Brush and ink should change with the times, just like the trend of poetry and prose. It can be the topic sentence of a historical statement paragraph, or it can be a marching call to encourage modern people to change the techniques of Chinese brush and ink. The spirit of not sticking to the ancients, facing life, and facing the times in the theory of brush and ink proposed by Shi Tao, a famous painter in Qing Dynasty, is the germination of the modern consciousness of painting theory in Qing Dynasty. This paper dialectically analyzes the theoretical connotation of “the theory of brush and ink should be at any time”, analyzes its significance, and further studies and discusses the development of contemporary landscape painting.
