老式中国绘画是一门独特旳艺术，无论是风格还是技巧都与世界其他艺术门类迥然不一样。老式旳日本绘画可能算是例外，不过不要忘了，它是深受中国文化影响旳。中国绘画采用毛笔（brush）蘸墨汁或颜色，机灵地挥洒（wield）在纸上。画家用深、浅、浓、淡旳点和线构成一幅图画。在优秀画家旳手里，毛笔和墨汁不仅是绘画旳工具，也是画家艺术追求旳象征。
Traditional Chinese paintings constitute a unique school of art, a school that, in style and techniques is widely different from any other art school in the world. Traditional Japanese art may be the only exception, but it has to be remembered that it has been heavily influenced by the Chinese culture. The Chinese do paintings with brushes, dipping their brushes in ink or paint and then skillfully wielding them. Painters produce on the paper pictures with lines and dots-some heavy, and some light, and some deep, and some pale. In the hands of a good painter, brushes and ink are not only tools for drawing pictures, but also the symbol of his or her artistic pursuit.
