Brief introduction of murals

"Wall painting" can be simply understood as "painting on the wall". With the development of the times, its application fields are more and more extensive. Almost all walls can be used in parks, exhibition halls, hotels, entertainment centers, bars, KTV, shopping malls, halls, schools, kindergartens, engineering fences, building exterior walls, villas, apartments, family background walls, lobby decorations, sofa background wall decorations, children's rooms and other places. In the14th century and the early 5th century, with the development of religion, various religious patterns were painted on the walls. The patterns drawn in this way are generally religious themes to decorate churches and other buildings belonging to churches, thus increasing the seriousness and sacredness of buildings and the environment. In ancient Egypt, artists carved various patterns on walls and columns as decorations, many of which recorded the life of the owner of the residence and recorded various fairy tales. This is the original mural art in Egypt.

In Tibet, China, people painted Buddha statues on walls and painted thangkas (ornaments made of cowhide) to drive away evil and pray for peace. In all countries and religions, there are records of carving and painting on walls. These murals recording the religious and living conditions at that time are today's murals.
