Features: Observing Duan Tie's "Yanshan Qingqu Series" fan paintings, he captures the essence of Chinese landscape painting that has echoed for thousands of years from this perspective. Therefore, what is involved here is not just the brushwork and techniques of landscape painting, but also the emphasis on the integration of life's perspectives into the brushwork language and visual composition, blending the aesthetic character of Chinese landscape painting into the structure and formal language of the artwork, achieving a seamless harmony between scene and sentiment. Chinese landscape painting has long been accompanied by Chan Buddhism for an extended period, particularly emphasizing enlightenment and spirituality. The principles of painting are not Zen. This is one reason why landscape painting has maintained its vitality for such a long time. Duan Tie's "Yanshan Qingqu Series" fan paintings, though small in scale, provide a practical and intuitive interpretation of this from a practical standpoint. The imagery of mountains, rivers, trees, rocks, houses, and streams in Duan Tie's landscapes are all drawn from tradition, especially the rendering of rocks, the dotting of trees, and the overall creation of the artistic conception, all of which reveal the artist's deep affection for nature, ancient aesthetics, and spiritual expression. Within the seemingly traditional dots, lines, ink, and colors, personal aesthetic perceptions and experiences are integrated. Although the paintings reveal a strong return to tradition, they are not lacking in freshness and elegance. Despite their simplicity and modesty, they are not lacking in depth and richness. All of these constitute the characteristics of Duan Tie's landscape fan paintings.
