Its nature and characteristics are still evolving， and the art community hasn't reached an absolute consensus on its definition. However，since it is of vital importance for guiding the sound development of lacquer painting with the connotation and denotation of its concept，it is imperative to clarify what lacquer painting is. The definition of lacquer painting involves the history of its development and communication and the contemporary social context，among other factors.To define lacquer painting，we must first separate its history as a part of lacquer decoration (traditional lacquer painting) and the contemporary experimental part of lacquer and its similar materials (modern lacquer painting). Lacquer painting must be based on the promotion of “natural lacquer”. No other kinds of lacquer materials can replace the unique charm of natural lacquer. Starting from the concept，the creation of lacquer painting should also be rooted in traditional lacquer art. Only in this way can we promote the healthy development of lacquer painting art
