史上具有很高的地位，甚至被认为是衡量东方绘画艺术水平的标准。

Ink and wash painting, one of the unique traditional art forms of
China, is representative of Chinese painting. It began around the time
of the Tang Dynasty, and then prospered in the Song and Yuan
dynasties. With a history of over one thousand years, it has experienced
constant development, improvement and perfection. The tools and
materials used to create ink and wash painting, i.e. brushes, rice paper,
and ink, are characteristic of Chinese culture and closely related to the
features of the paintings. For example, the mixing of water and ink
creates different shades of dryness, wetness, thickness and thinness.
The integration and infiltration of water, ink, and rice paper enables
such paintings to convey rich images, and hence to achieve unique
aesthetic effects. Ink and wash painting holds a high status in the
history of Chinese painting, and it is even regarded as the criterion to
evaluate the artistic level of Oriental paintings.
