"Tonal" in traditional music theory, originally means attributes and specialties of the tune. However, now we use it often in our daily life and as a replacement of characteristics and specialty. If we use "tonal" to describe traditional Chinese realistic painting, it means a visual effect of extreme innerness. It is different from the characteristics, a concept in Xie He Six Principles, "tonal" is the extent of descendants' aesthetic attainment, and the involved combination of features, artistic conception, the composition of a picture, and color. "Tonal" does not mean only one thing, but a little of everything.

Fan Lei is an extreme tonal traditional Chinese realistic painter. In her paints, we can almost touch her divine worship towards life and nature. Fan Lei absorbed the essences of Song and Yuan dynasty's traditional Chinese realistic painting, which are examining things meticulously and poetic expression, which is to express feelings through things. But she is not satisfied with imitate the outlook of things. She tries to blend natural reality with impressions and catch the sentiment and characteristic of appearance. Xuanhe Painting Book commented that things' meaning is according to people such as tree peony, peony, phoenix, and peacock mean wealth; pine, bamboo, plum blossom, chrysanthemum, gull, egret, wild goose, and wild duck means gentle; crane means imposing; eagle and falcon represent fighting; poplar, willow, Chinese parasol tree means romantic because they are luxuriant; Himalayan pine and cypress means upright because they can stand winter. Flowers and birds are natural things, and they are atonal, but painters express their feelings through flowers and birds. Even though painting flowers and birds are not the same as painting humans, their artistic concepts are human, and they showed humans' nature, strength, sense of beauty, and sentiment. During creation, Fan Lei did not force modern people's feeling in ancient painting style, nor emphasize using the traditional method to express modern people's feelings. She tried to dismiss repetitive expression language, creatively using more characteristic artistic languages to express her tone, and put her ideas in paintings so that the natural beauty of objective subjects turn to artistic beauty. She makes traditional Chinese realistic flowers and birds paintings vivid and expands people's aesthetic opinions.

"Tonal" is an aesthetic behavior that is harder to grasp because it is subjective; the result of the creator's spiritual world. The works can individually show its life and spiritual pursuit, and independent from the creator's technology and construct. If it's not for that, the pieces would still be bound by ancestors' rules, maybe the aesthetic request is to close to the ancient times, but the idea and spirit would be borrowed instead of created by painters. The "tonal" showed the painter's independent art characteristic and attainment, and it is the true pursuit and spirit of art. It is also an appearance that exclusively belongs to a person. We know whether this painting's "tonal" is profound or superficial instinctively, but we can not explain why. Modern master Mr. Pan Tianshou once said, "class is an abstract concept; it is hard to explain, so you have to see more and compare more; in the end, you will feel it." The class he meant is the same as "tonal. "It is the label and spirit of a person. Let's go back to Fan Lei's traditional Chinese realistic flowers and birds painting. In her paintings, you can feel the vigor of summer and spring in the luxurious leaves; feel the fall and winter in the desolation, all its density, movement, layers, and space are artistic rational. You will find it all hides in the layout, shade, and thickness of lines if you look closely. The painting's structure is based on the line-based foreshadowing in her heart. She can successfully create natural birds' spirit and posture because of her confidence in lines. Painting birds is different according to a different season, different environment, narrative, and event different bird emotions. The painting Light At Dawn is about an early morning in golden fall October, the birds in the painting are happy, and the affluence in harvest season is giving to nature. Fan Lei painted the soaring birds with vigorous lines; then she used harsh, short lines and elegant thin lines to paint feathers of the soaring birds; she used energized lines to paint plants; she also used light colors and left some blanks to create a blank background to make the birds look happier. The painting is natural and makes people feel like they are personally in the scene. She is good at constructing a painting s' atmosphere and bringing people into the paintings' world because of her exceptional ability of line expression except for her abundant sketch experiences. This unique way and expression of inner feelings are "tonal."

Even though painting is a direct visual art, but it shows relevant patterns. No matter from construction or appearance's point of view, there wouldn't be any visual existence of beauty's construction or building without inner science. Fan Lei's unrestrained thoughts are realized on Xuan paper; with her unique artistic revelation, steady painting technique, her works fully show the distinguishing characteristic of time and her poetic level of thoughts. Her pieces are as beautiful as sing with wind, as magical as the change of summer cloud. Her works show the Song and Yuan dynasty's appearance and contemporary meanings, which is why they attract people at the first site and left people speechless. The more amazing thing is her character and peruses of art; she is not after fame nor money; she is calm and modest; she only does art and chases beauty.
