Features: The Compendium of Chinese Landscape Painting presents a relatively complete and systematic review of the vibrant history of landscape painting through a combination of images and text. It not only showcases the emergence and development of landscape painting but also traces the evolution of artists and artistic works associated with it. Moreover, it delves into the cultural soil on which landscape painting thrives and explores the subtle, ever-evolving relationship between generations of people who engage with landscape painting and the art itself. To facilitate reading and use, the entire work is organized along the timeline of landscape painting's development as the vertical axis and the fluctuation of its value as the horizontal axis, divided into thirty-four volumes. Each volume stands independently yet interconnects and resonates with one another. This book, Beyond the Mountains, is the eighth volume, primarily focusing on the artistic activities of landscape painters outside the Southern Song Dynasty.
