The objects depicted by Li Yin are mostly from the famous palaces and palaces in ancient history and the Langyuan Qionglou in folk legends. This painting depicts the Yellow Crane Tower. If only from the perspective of today’s strict architectural science and architectural development history, the buildings in his works are not Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming. From the overall layout to the architectural form, most of them are not in accordance with the rules and regulations of architecture. However, the author, from the perspective of an artist, with his profound knowledge of ancient architecture, develops a rich imagination, and combines various architectural images in the paintings of previous dynasties, with accurate proportion and rigorous structure, The artistic re-creation of his works, full of wisdom and philosophy, also creates a real space for visitors to travel, live and enjoy. It is taken from the reality of life and not satisfied with the simple representation, which is the key to distinguish a creative excellent painter from the mechanical repetition of “craftsman Zishi”.
