Correcto

• 中国画讲究意在笔先，强调神韵而非写实。(Chinese painting emphasises conception before brushwork, focusing on spirit rather than realism.)
• 学习中国画首先要练好毛笔书法的基本功。(Learning Chinese painting requires first mastering the fundamentals of brush calligraphy.)

Incorrecto

• 这幅中国画画得很像 — Chinese painting values 神似 (spiritual likeness) over 形似 (physical likeness); praising photorealism misses the point
