Traditional Chinese painting is highly regarded around the world for its expression and technique. Compared with Western paintings, a Chinese painting is not restricted by focal point in its perspective. A traditional Chinese artist could paint on a long and narrow piece of paper or silk all the scenery that runs along the Yangtze River.
