The atmosphere of the mountains and rivers is static and moving, and it varies from person to person. Those who watch the mountains and meditate, write about the mountains with ethereal inaction! Watching the mountain movers, most of them are flowing with immortals. However, they all walk in the realm of Zen, the law of the Tao, and the gentleman of Confucianism. Therefore, movement and stillness are not positive or negative, but are all landscape methods.
Xiao Daping's works
Quiet, not dull. Movers, not impetuous. Dull is not calm, impetuous is not ethereal. Movement is amorphous, all human! Joyful and free, literary and quiet. Free-spirited, the pen line is flowing, like a sword fairy playing the human world! Quiet people, the pen is peaceful, like an old monk settling down! The free-spirited, ink yun immortal family qi, like colorful auspicious clouds in the world! Quiet people, ink rhymes with nothing, like a white cloud in the air! One, the line of pen flowing clouds without interruption, one, the line of pen slowly and naturally advanced! So, painter, sex too!
Zhang Zhiyong's works
Painting, there must be thoughts, even if the thoughtless like to paint, can only be as a hobby, and can not be painted to "explain" the meaning! The technician, who is created by time, just can't reach the peak, to understand! It is also possible to paint a painting that can be decorated. The Dharma practitioners have the comprehensive qualities of cultivation, knowledge, and insight. However, it takes "skill" to prop up. Although it can be lyrical and lyrical without skills, it cannot be called painting. Therefore, a painter needs to be skillful and integrated.

Most of the paintings of people looking at this day are brainless works, without any thoughts infused, only the skill of showing off. The reason for this is that they do not know the true meaning of the painting. The author of Jing is only because the ancients had a saying: "The qi of the mountains and rivers is quiet" and I don't know why Jing is! Therefore, the paintings drawn have no "quiet" to speak of! Those who write with motion think that they are innovating, but they do not know, what is moving, and where the motivation comes from! So the picture is only restless, not the ethereal of the fairy. This phenomenon is not accidental, it is inevitable! Because, since reading, the Chinese culture on which Chinese painting depends has been destroyed, just imagine, if a building has a damaged foundation, it is difficult to build. Even if it is built, it is a dangerous building! The same is true of Chinese painting, whose foundation, culture is destroyed, and the loss of Shen Yun is inevitable! If you want to reshape landscape painting, you must start with culture, re-study Chinese studies, and reconstruct your thinking. Correct yourself from the inside out. Thus, I re-understand the relationship between motion and stillness and mountains and rivers, and re-empower the landscape paintings I have written!
