Gongbi
''Gongbi'' () is a careful realist technique in Chinese painting, the opposite of the interpretive and freely expressive '' xieyi'' (寫意 'sketching thoughts') style. The name is from the Chinese ''gong jin'' meaning 'tidy' (meticulous brush craftsmanship).

It is often highly colored and usually depicts figural or narrative subjects. The term related to ''gongbi'', ''jiehua'' (or "boundary painting"), refers to the accurate depiction of architectural forms aided by the ruler.
