Zen Calligraphy or Zenshō (禅書), is a unique form of brush calligraphy deeply rooted in the philosophy and practices of Zen Buddhism. It is not just an artistic expression but also a spiritual practice, where the act of writing becomes a form of meditation and a way to express one’s inner state. Zen calligraphy is closely associated with Zenga (禅画), the Zen-inspired painting tradition, but it focuses specifically on writing characters or symbols with a brush.

Splashed Ink (潑墨) is a dynamic and expressive technique in traditional Chinese ink painting. It involves ink's spontaneous and free application to create abstract, fluid, and often unpredictable forms. The technique emphasizes spirit and emotional resonance over precise detail, aligning with the philosophical values of Taoism (道教) and Zen Buddhism (禪宗).

Traditional Chinese animal painting is a significant genre within Chinese art, reflecting the deep cultural, philosophical, and symbolic connections between humans and animals. Often created using traditional techniques such as ink and wash (水墨画) or gongbi (工笔, meticulous brushwork), these paintings are rich in symbolic meanings and serve to convey moral lessons, philosophical ideas, and expressions of beauty in nature.

While there isn’t a formalized or universally recognized art style or genre called “Zen art” in the traditional sense, but the term is often used informally to describe artworks and aesthetics influenced by Zen Buddhism, a branch of Mahayana Buddhism that originated in China before spreading to Japan, Korea, and beyond. These can include a variety of artistic expressions and principles that align with Zen philosophy, emphasizing simplicity, mindfulness, and harmony with nature.
