Why is landscape painting a unity of man and nature?

As for why landscape painting is a combination of heaven and man, it is as follows:

Ancient literati played around mountains and rivers and experienced the taste of nature. In Song Dynasty, Guo described in Lin Gao Quan Zhi: "Spring mountain is bright as a smile, summer mountain is green as a drop, autumn mountain is bright as a makeup, and winter mountain is bleak as a sleep." ?

Beautiful spring mountains and lush summer mountains make people feel the vitality of nature and form a close relationship between man and nature. Confucius said, "Climbing Mount Tai makes the world small", "The benevolent enjoys Leshan and the wise enjoys water". The majestic mountains let simple and kind people see their kind hearts, and also let thoughtful people feel the flow of time in the clear water in the mountains ... People's thoughts are so close to nature.

From the perspective of artistic expression, mountains, water, trees, rocks and clouds, including climate change, are the basic natural factors of landscape painting. Different from the way ordinary people look at mountains, artists draw real rocks, clouds, trees and other objects, and add their own thinking to extend the nature in their works to the height of philosophy.

In China, the relationship between man and nature is not confrontation, but "the unity of man and nature". The scenery is silent, but it is your teacher. Ma Lin, a painter in the Southern Song Dynasty, painted a picture of "Listening to the Wind": in the picture, an old man was sitting under a pine tree, and a stream flowed down from the mountain, and the wind blew through the pine tree slightly. The old man is listening to the scenery and the wind, and the boy is standing by.

It reveals that the relationship between man and art in landscape painting is also the unity of man and nature. China people are full of attachment to mountains and rivers, and regard nature as an emotion that will not be destroyed, which is also the reason why landscape painting has entered Chinese painting and landscape painting.

Expand knowledge:

China landscape painting, also known as landscape, is a Chinese painting with landscape as the main description object. Formed in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Sui and Tang Dynasties were independent, and the Five Dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty were mature, which became an important painting theme of China's paintings.

Compared with western landscape painting, China landscape painting is about 1000 years earlier. China landscape painting is traditionally divided into green landscape, golden landscape, ink landscape, light crimson landscape, small green landscape and boneless landscape.

China's landscape paintings are the heaviest precipitation of China people's feelings. The mainland cultural consciousness of traveling around mountains and water, the inner cultivation consciousness of taking mountains as morality and water as nature, and the optical illusion consciousness near the horizon have always become the main axis of landscape painting interpretation.

From landscape painting, we can concentrate on appreciating the artistic conception, style, charm and tone of Chinese painting. No painting discipline can give China people more emotions like landscape painting. If we argue with others, landscape painting is the inheritance of the nation, classical self-confidence, my image and human temperament.
