part.1 悠游山林

以山水为题材的绘画占有重要位置，有许多经典作品流传至今。一方面，千百年来，艺术家们不断探索发展新的技法，依据不同地域的山石结构、树木种类、水的形态，发展出用笔与墨进行皴擦点染的丰富的笔法技巧，用以表现不同的肌理效果。到今天，也有不少艺术家使用笔墨之外的综合材料。而因为笔法、墨法、水法的不同关系，形成不同地域山水画的特点风貌，也由此形成艺术家的个人风格。

另一方面，中国人寄情山水，表达出悠游山林的生活态度。“读万卷书，行万里路”，也将万里烟霞收归笔下，作书斋中的“卧游”“心游”。无论是真实描摹行旅途中的大山大水，还是搜尽奇峰勾画梦里心中的山水家园，总在自然山水中流露出人的踪迹。群峰之巅上的一座亭台，湖畔波光中的一艘渔船，深山院落里的几只牛羊，青翠梯田中的炊烟人家，乃至于今天生活于城市高楼大厦之中的人间烟火，都是艺术家们乐此不疲的创作题材，也是他们追求人生境界的艺术表达。

Wandering through Mountains & Forests

Paintings of mountains and rivers hold a significant place in Chinese art history, with many classic works for today’s people to appreciate. On one hand, over the centuries, artists have continuously explored and developed new techniques. Depending on the different structures of mountains and rocks, types of trees, and forms of water in various regions, they have created rich brush and ink techniques to vividly depict different textures. Today, many artists use materials beyond traditional brush and ink. The unique characteristics of landscape paintings from different regions stem from the distinct relationships between brushwork, ink, and water, which also shape the artists’ personal styles.

On the other hand, Chinese people express their sentiments towards nature through these paintings,which embody a lifestyle that values time spent wandering in mountains and forests. The phrase “reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles” captures the essence of the pursuit to absorb the beauty of landscapes and convey them in art, enabling a kind of “mind travel” from within one’s study. Whether depicting the gorgeous landscapes encountered on travels or reproducing the idyllic wonderlands of one’s dreams, traces of human presence are always found in Chinese landscape painting. A pavilion atop a mountain, a fishing boat on a shimmering lake, a few cattle and sheep in a courtyard deep in the mountains, smoke rising from houses in lush terraced fields, and even the bustling life amid modern urban high-rises all serve as endless sources of inspiration for artists and are the artistic expressions of their pursuit of a greater understanding about themselves and the world.
