"Landscape Painting Theory" was first

Lin Zhi, a landscape painting by Guo in the Northern Song Dynasty, was first put forward.

Guo put forward three methods of landscape painting creation in Lin Zhi, namely, height, distance and harmony. Height is from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, similar to looking up; Profound is to look at the mountain behind from the front, similar to overlooking; Pingyuan is a mountain that looks far away, similar to head-up. The ternary method embodies the unique observation and expression techniques of China's landscape paintings, and has a far-reaching impact on the creation of later landscape paintings.

Lin's Gao Quanzhi is one of the important works of Chinese landscape painting theory. This paper probes into the creative methods, composition and pen and ink skills of landscape painting, which promotes the theoretical research of landscape painting. Lin Zhi had a wide influence on the creation of landscape paintings in later generations, and many painters were inspired and influenced by it, such as Huang in Yuan Dynasty and Dong Qichang in Ming Dynasty.

"Trigonometry" in Lin's Gao Quanzhi

1, lofty: from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, highlight the word "Yang" and look up lofty. Looking up at the mountain, you can see the top of the mountain instead of halfway up the mountain. The whole mountain is majestic and towering. For example, in order to exaggerate the height of mountains, people, houses and trees can be drawn very small.

2. Profound: From the front of the mountain to the back of the mountain, a face with a profound sense of space is reflected, and everything in front of it is deep and ethereal. The key word for understanding is "bird's eye view". Imagine that we are a bird, soaring in the air and overlooking the scenery.

3. Plain: Looking far from the mountain near the mountain, highlighting the word "king". The plain is to draw a vast space around, front and back, left and right. The plain makes people and scenery blend harmoniously, and people's hearts are satisfied in it.
