On the morning of September 15, an exhibition of works selected by the Changzhou Association of Chinese Flower-and-Bird Paintings kicked off in the Liu Haisu Art Museum, a tribute to the new era.

Flowers and birds were favorite subjects of paintings in ancient China, offering a kind of special aesthetic interest. Flower-and-bird paintings originated from the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Initially serving as an ornamental pattern for daily utensils, this art form later evolved as symbolic, metaphoric and allegorical elements in the background of figure painting. Finally, flowers and birds are seen in independent themes.

The eight-day exhibition displayed a total of 138 flower-and-bird paintings with different techniques, showcasing the painters’ passion for life and love for the homeland.
