At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century,Western art historians such as Bernard Berenson and Wolfflin had already discovered that paintings did not only have visual value,but also tactile value.Comparatively speaking,in ancient Chinese aesthetic culture,not only antiques,jade and marvelous stones have tactile value,but also Chinese paintings have a unique tactile value.The tactile value of Chinese paintings stems from the affinity of Chinese calligraphy and painting.It is recognized in China that"calligraphy and painting have the same origin"and"calligraphy and painting use the same brush",and brush is used in calligraphy to form a special"brush stroke"so that the aesthetics of calligraphy is,to a large extent,the aesthetics of the brush stroke.The tactile value of Chinese painting can be seen in two lev-els:the shallow level is the brushstroke,and the deep level is the brush and ink.In the history of Chinese painting,there is a process of tactile value from shallow to deep.By comparison,the tactile value of Chinese painting before the Yuan Dynasty favored brush strokes,while the tactile value of Chinese painting after the Yuan Dynasty favored brushand ink.
