The theory of “imitation” in painting occupies a leading position in western art, which originated from the theory of “imitation” in ancient Greece, and has become one of the art theories affecting the world through the continuous development of later generations. Through the exploration of the source of “imitation” in China and the West, there are some comments on the meaning of “imitation” in Chinese classical painting theory, such as “transfer model writing” and “image form”, which is obvious differences from the west. Traditional Chinese painting is a combination of careful observation of natural things and subjective emotions to express their own aesthetic feelings, and ultimately form a vivid artistic conception. Modern imitation is borrowed from Western imitation. In fact, imitation in traditional painting has its own meaning, which contains Chinese aesthetic thought. “Imitation” aesthetics is unique in traditional Chinese painting and is the most important form of painting art.
