The word "form" has always been mysterious in the text. Due to the variety of languages in the art of painting, form is the only proof of art's existence. Different art forms establish different ontological values of art. Chinese painting contains the accumulation and evolution of Chinese cultural thought and history in the form of expression. The form of Chinese painting is divided into the external form of visual intuition and the internal form of independent aesthetics. This article takes Song Dynasty paintings as an example to discuss the beauty of form in artistic works.
