All these ideas arose purely from the mind and were not based on investigation. For many years, people believed in the second idea. But actually it is the third idea that is nearer to our present concept of matter.
Dalton's Atomic Theory
In the early nineteenth century, Dalton, an English school teacher, stated in this atomic theory that matter was made up of tiny, indivisible particles, which he also called atoms. His laboratory work showed him that atoms could neither be divided into smaller parts nor could they be destroyed. He pictured matter as being made up of tiny solid spherical atoms. Today the idea of the atoms has been accepted. But further work has shown that contrary to Dalton's findings, atoms are made up of even smaller particles.

中國畫
中國畫與中醫、京劇在一起,被譽為中國的"三大國粹。"按內容分,主要有人物畫、山水畫、花鳥畫三大類。
戰國時,中國就以有比較成熟的人物畫,唐代達到頂峰。著名的人物畫家有顧愷之、吳道子等。山水畫產生于秦代,宋代達到很高水平。著名的山水畫家有唐代李思訓、王維和明代唐寅等。花鳥畫畫的是自然界中的花卉、鳥獸、魚蟲。南北朝時出現了花鳥畫,宋代走向成熟。著名花鳥畫家有擅長畫花鳥的朱耷,擅長畫竹子的鄭燮、擅長畫魚蝦的齊白石。
按畫法分,中國畫主要有工筆畫和寫意畫。工筆畫的特點是按照事物原來的樣子,一筆一筆畫得非常細致,尤其注重細節的描繪;寫意畫是一種夸張的畫法,要求用簡單的筆墨畫出事物的神韻,雖然筆墨簡單,但意趣生動,表現力很強。
