Features: The landscape painting technique named "Southern School" clearly belongs to the category of technical research. The differences between Northern and Southern School landscape paintings lie in their overall temperament, similar to personal temperament. People with different temperaments tend to choose different techniques, and the temperament of Northern and Southern School landscape paintings also has corresponding overall differences. Based on this, the author proposes a certain spiritual continuity in the evolution of Southern School landscape paintings, thereby classifying and analyzing important works in this process, striving to identify certain patterns. This approach meets the fundamental requirement of Chinese landscape painting that "the starting point is the height," while also addressing certain shortcomings in pure theoretical research. It is commendable that the book, in addition to numerous illustrative drafts, also extensively quotes relevant original painting theories, making it easier for us to interpret the hand's information. This is a highly valuable reference book for technical learning and research.
