"British people are so fond of flowers, birds, insects and fish that they can still find Chinese flowers in English gardens today. When you travel to England, you will feel that China is blooming in our flower beds," Neil McGonagall Rigg explains the popularity of Chinese paintings of flowers, birds, insects and fish in the UK.
In the 18th century, in the exchange of painting between Britain and China, the reason for choosing flower and bird painting was determined by the living habits and characteristics of the British. The environment of the United Kingdom determines that the plants are relatively abundant. The British are very fond of flowers and plants, and it is easy to have a good impression of plant-like things. In the late 18th century, the colors of British gardening were monotonous, and most of the local flowers were small and light in color, mainly blue, purple, yellow, and pale pink.
