What is the chamfering method in landscape painting?

Although figure painting is the earliest painting discipline to appear in the traditional Chinese painting tradition, landscape painting has leapt to a dominant position in the painting field since the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the brushwork of landscape painting is far richer than that of figure painting, and it is regarded as the first brushwork of Chinese painting.

The most important brushwork technique in landscape painting is the chamfering technique. The so-called chamfering method refers to using pen and ink to describe and depict the concave and convex texture and the shape of yin and yang after the outline of the rock is formed, so that it has a three-dimensional sense of "the stone is divided into three sides".
