Today, I’d like to speak to you about the ink wash animated film Feeling from Mountain and Water. Let’s start by talking about the background of ink wash animation, an animation style that is unique to China. This style combines Chinese traditional art with modern animation techniques.
In the late 1950s, inspired by the ink wash painter Qi Baishi, the Shanghai Animation Studio began to explore ways to turn Chinese traditional paintings into cartoon form. The first ink wash animation Tadpoles Searching for Mother, was produced in 1960, and it received international praise. Following this, The Cowboy’s Flute was produced in 1963, receiving the golden prize at an international film festival. Finally, in 1988, the ink wash animation masterpiece, Feeling from Mountain and Water was created.
Let’s turn now to the film itself. The film tells the simple story of an old musician and a young boy. In the film, an old musician falls ill while travelling and is helped by a young boy. To thank the boy, the musician teaches him how to play the gugin. With the change of the seasons, it is time for the musician to leave. As the musician says goodbye, he gives the boy his guqin, and then disappears into the mist.

Then, when the boy sits down to play the guqin, all of nature joins him in a visual symphony.
The film has no dialogue. And, unlike typical cartoons, the film has no bright colours. In short, it is like a fine ink wash painting which has been brought to life-a painting with movement. The animation and the music make the film not only appealing to the eyes and ears but also rich in emotion. Therefore, this 18-minute film is regarded by many as a masterpiece of Chinese ink wash animation.
After the late 1980s, the high cost of producing ink wash animation caused film studios to stop making them. The techniques used to produce such films simply required too much work, as each frame of the film had to be hand painted. However, in 2016, new artists have begun to make ink wash animated films using computers. It is hoped that these new techniques will breathe new life into this art form.
