| As a rare and complete landscape album leaves that still retains the original sequence of Ningzong’s imperial title,the Landscape Album Paired with Imperial Poetic Inscriptions is a model of aesthetic appreciation for elite aristocrats and literati in the Southern Song Dynasty.Its space construction tends to “static” and “horizontal” jump characteristics;The characteristic of “round turning elegant” presented by brush and ink technique;The creation of “capture the best moments” and the emphasis on the cultural image of “climbing high and looking far” reflect the “meaning sad but distant” charm pursued by the artistic expression and life emotion.It reflects the cultural characteristics of the elite literati in the middle and late Southern Song Dynasty,which tended to“introspection and reflection” from the perspective of the existence of “heaven and earth in a teapot”. |
