Modern period
 
        Since the beginning of the 20th century, Chinese painting has gradually lost the vitality. Based on traditional Chinese painting, a group of painters with revolutionary spirit absorbed skills from folk art tradition to set up a new style of painting. Others promoted Chinese painting by learning Western painting skills. They attempted to explore a new style by means of mixing Chinese and Western skills in composition, design and color.
