On the contrary, the western artists spare every effort to make their works vivid like photos.

At last, the primary subject matter of Chinese painting is landscape while the most common subject matter of the western is the people from the upper class and religion legends. This is result from the different social status of the painters. In western society, most of the artists are professional and they make a living by drawing portraits for the rich and the churches.

The paper, ink, brush, and inkstone（砚台） are essential implements of East Asian calligraphy: they are known together as the Four Treasures of the Study (文房四宝) in China.

Paper

Special types of paper are used in East Asian calligraphy. In China, Xuanzhi, traditionally made in Anhui province, is the preferred type of paper. It is made from other materials including rice, the paper mulberry, bamboo, hemp, etc.. Sometimes the brush is used to put ink on a pen.

Ink

The ink is made from lampblack (soot) （煤烟）and binders（粘合剂）, and comes in sticks which must be rubbed with water on an inkstone until the right consistency is achieved. Much cheaper, pre-mixed bottled inks are now available. Learning to rub the ink is an essential part of calligraphy study.

Brush

The brush is the traditional writing implement（工具） in East Asian calligraphy. The body of the brush can be made from either bamboo, or rarer materials like red sandalwood, glass, ivory, silver, and gold. The head of the brush can be made from the hair (or feather) of a wide variety of animals, including the wolf, rabbit, deer, chicken, duck, goat, pig, etc.

Inkstone

A stone or ceramic [s??r?m?k]（陶瓷） inkstone is used to rub the solid ink stick into liquid ink and to contain the ink once it is liquid. Cheaper inkstones are made of plastic. Inkstones are often carved, so they are collectible works of art on their own.
