The geese fly south, the autumn mountains and the cold forest, and the sky between heaven and earth. Depicting such a landscape has a mature technique as early as the Five Dynasties period. In the Qing Dynasty, it was very difficult for painters to paint new ideas. As a buddhist disciple, Shi Mingzhong explains the scenery of Akiyama from a Zen perspective.
What is Zen, full of cold forest shows the deep tranquility of the landscape. Obviously, it looks very full, but there is a feeling of emptiness. This is Zen, this is the freshness of the painting in the interpretation. If you want to sum it up in one word, you can use "what seems to be false." What seems real is in fact abstract and illusory. Don't you think it's very screwed, it's a little difficult to understand.
Interpretation of the mid-Autumn Mountains Cold Forest
There are virtual realities when writing articles, and there are virtual realities when painting. Real is intuitive feeling; virtual is imaginary speculation. For painters, they often use the technique of real writing and imagining, through foiling and contrasting, expressing the details of a series of scenes such as the sense of space, charm and feelings.

Shi Mingzhong lived in the prosperous era of Kangqian, and when Qianlong went down to Jiangnan, he was praised by the emperor for his paintings in front of the imperial court.

There is also happiness in the plain, and the inner plain is really plain. Even if there is no wine or poetry, you can feel joy in the mountains and rivers.
The technique in the interpretation is quite solid, and such a dense and dense forest can draw a sense of order in chaos, which is a test of basic skills. Instead of using the usual crab claw shape or deer horn to outline the branches, he let the branches shrink as close as possible to the trunk. Painting in this way, it is convenient to arrange the layers of branches, which obviously adds to the painter's observation.
