Based on the theories of cultural awareness and cultural confidence, this study systematically analyzes the challenges that Chinese painting faces in the contexts of globalization and modernization. These challenges include inheritance dilemmas, innovation obstacles, changes in the audience, and communication constraints. It puts forward multidimensional strategies: establishing an inheritance system based on cultural ontology, developing contemporary expressions in line with modern values, exploring innovative aspects in artistic language, and reconstructing the communication ecosystem through new media and international exchanges. The research findings offer theoretical references and practical insights for the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese painting.
