The schools of Chinna inner painting and current status

There are four main schools in the China inner painting field so far. They are Jin (sourced from Beijing), Ji (sourced from Hebei Province), Lu (source from Shangdong Province) and Yue (sourced from Guangdong Province). Just like Master of Xisan Wang mentioned in last blog, is the founder of Ji school.

However, except Ji school, the other three school almost disappear at present. At present, the inner painting of Ji school has the highest level, and the most famous. Specifically,  most of the inner painting artists of Ji school are living in the Hengshui city of Hebei province.(HaHa, that is my homwtown) The following is a video showing more inner painting bottles.

Next blog, i will introduce the drawing tools of inner painting, a kind of special writing brush, like one in the above picture
