There are three distances from the mountain: from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, it is called high; Looking at the mountain from the front is far-reaching; Looking far from the near mountain is called the plain. The mountain is high, the fatigue is not high, and the waist is high; The mountain is far away, not far from going out, and the hidden pulse is far away (contrast method).

Far people have no eyes, far trees have no branches, and far mountains have no stones (perspective relationship). Complexity is not congested, simplicity is not empty, complexity is not chaotic, simplicity is meaningful, sparseness can be carried out and impenetrable (the relationship between complexity and density).
