Chinese painting is often criticized by people who do not understand it, saying that Chinese painting has no perspective. In fact, why does Chinese painting have no perspective? The perspective of Chinese painting is taken from all sides of the four sides, and the perspective of modern abstract painting is not enough!

The ancients had a few words, which can be said to be the theory of perspective abstraction that our Chinese painting is full of. That is, the so-called "distant mountains have no wrinkles, far waters have no waves, and distant people have no eyes." Why is the distant mountain without wrinkles? Because people's eyesight can not be achieved, it is equivalent to photography too far, there is a fog layer between the air, naturally can not see the veins of the mountain, of course, there is no need to wrinkle; "far water without waves", is the same reason, the rivers look far away, where can you still see the ripples? Looking at people from a distance, of course, even the facial features are not clear, naturally it is "far away and no eyes". This is a natural truth.

For example, if we paint a distant scene, the tone must be light, but also light and faint, vague, this is used to express the distance; if you paint a close-up scene, the pavilions and pavilions, it must be clearly painted, the tone is deep, and it is as if it came to the front. This is also very much in line with the principles of photography!

Shi Tao also has a unique skill, he sometimes paints the near scene vaguely and virtually, and draws the long view clearly and realistically. At first glance, it may seem inconsistent with the above, but this is actually equivalent to using the focus of the camera to the distance; it is more like we use our eyes to look at the wordless, and the near place seems naturally unclear. This is the "highest" physical perspective of modern science, and Shi Tao can certainly use this in his paintings, and he can show it, which is really remarkable! Therefore, the abstraction of Chinese painting is both physical and contains the element of beauty.

Shen Cunzhong, a Song dynasty, once criticized Li Cheng's paintings for the pavilions that were "cornered by the house". What is a house corner? Shen said that from the perspective of top to bottom, if you look at the roof, you will not see the corner of the eaves, and Li Cheng's painting has both a roof ridge and a bucket arch, which is quite unreasonable. Roughly, this truth seems to be right, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that it is not right, because the painting is based on beauty, Li Cheng uses the method of bird's eye view, looking down at the roof ridge, and at a flying angle, looking up at the eaves arch, just a momentary impression, the roof ridge left in the brain and the beauty of the eaves are integrated into one, and it is shown on the picture. Moreover, our Chinese architecture, the beauty of the roof ridge, the beauty of the bucket arch, are all masterpieces. If you want to show them at the same time, you can't convey the whole picture without using the perspective of pitching and leaning at the same time!
