Landscape geomantic omen in China

Shen Zhoushan's water painting "Lushan Mountain High Map" is the last exam for graduate students in the School of Humanities, Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2009! I don't want to say too much about this work, but I only put forward three points. You can write a paper based on these three points. If you can't even reach the level of writing a thesis, you are irresponsible to yourself. First: The high map of Lushan Mountain was made by Shen Zhou for Master Chen Kuan's birthday, which is intended to express his praise for the teacher's virtue of guarding the top of the mountain through the height of Lushan Mountain! Therefore, the composition of Shen Zhou's "Lushan Mountain High Map" still adopts Guo's traditional three-dimensional composition method, which particularly highlights the "height" and has symbolic significance. Second: The reason why this work occupies such a high position in the history of art is that it is a transformation work of Shen Zhou. From the age of 40, Shen Zhou became a giant, represented by "The High Map of Lushan Mountain", followed by "Fine Writing". Shen Zhou is good at rough brushwork, but fine brushwork is rare. Shen Zhou's transformation had a great influence on Wumen and the art history of Ming Dynasty. Third: From a technical point of view, Shen Zhou's "The High Map of Lushan Mountain" mainly imitates Wang Meng (one of the four great masters in Yuan Dynasty) and has the characteristics of Zhao Mengfu!
